Hannah the Cat!




I was completely humbled when my friend Kate commissioned me to draw three illustrations of her cat, Hannah, as a gift to her husband for Christmas. I don't know how any other artists feel, but there's always a slight twinge of "maybe I'm not good enough" that lingers in the back of my brain. I fight it away constantly. But, to be asked to do something that will potentially be meaningful to another person...on PURPOSE? That's the most challenging. :)
Thank you Kate and Chad, I hope you enjoy these little paintings of your fluffy, little ball of joy!
As a bonus, I'm back on the sketch a day kick I got off of a few months ago. Here's another quick, cozy, winter bundle:

  4. These came out beautiful Renee! Love the texture in the hair and the choice of colors of the backgrounds. I think you can tell that little voice at the back of your mind to keep quiet. :)
