Inspired by the theme of the actual challenge #81 MY LOVE @aligator_watercolor_community. It's my first portrait of the love of my life, the wind beneath my wings and my solid rock during all storms, we've passed together. 
With this painting I say goodbye and thank you so much to Ali Cavanaugh. I have learned so much and I'm deeply grateful that I was a part of this wonderful painting community. It's time for me to fly more freely and look for new ways of inspiration. In April 2023 I'll be a part again of the worldwide Skitchy session 30 Face/ 30 Days Watercolor. And I'm planning some full sheet paintings for the next time.

I know a little pussy

Her coat is silver gray

She lives down in the meadow

Not very far away.

Though she is a pussy

She’ll never be a cat.

She is a pussy willow.

Now what do you think of that!

                                    Traditional

While waiting for Spring I can't resist painting Spring's awakening around me and Pussy Willows always fascinated me.

 Painting landscapes with a very reduced palette is something I like a lot and while testing colors for a winter landscape I've discovered some lovely combinations and this is one of them.

Done after my own photography taken during our last stay at Menorca, Balearic islands - Catalunya, Spain. It was such an incredibly peaceful and atmospheric evening. Yes, painting sundowns is always a bit critical, but something inside me said, give it a try and here it is.
