Henry V Japanese Style


I drew and painted this last Friday while Henry was enjoying his morning repast.
I kept getting Japanese vibes looking at him and at how my painting was turning out.
So I added the little red square on the bottom
and looked up (Googled)
how to write CAT in Japanese!
Happy Animal Wednesday (on Friday)
Happy Friday Paint Party too
!


Ink first, then watercolor

    Lynn, I'm joining in with *the Gang* to say Brava! This *Japanesque* Henry is wonderful! You havae captured all the correct brush strokes and the use of the Chop is the perfect embellishment! You are so clever to think to look up the correct word for *Cat* then create the Chop! I love this!

    Please kiss the King for me!

    Hugs,

    ♥ Robin ♥

    This is wonderful, it does feel Asian. Love how you added the little characters in the red box, that was the perfect touch.
