by Ren Adams--that's me!
Back is signed, titled, and dated.

A sassy cat peeks from the heavy grass. He is almost an outline, with all of the foliage in his path.

I dig Yupo paper. If you're not already a fan, Yupo is a special type of polypropylene sheet which has a velvety finish and a supple, yet strong feel. It doesn't feel quite like any paper you've ever touched (it's satiny and oddly thick).

I used traditional European watercolors on my Yupo ACEO cards, in a figurative style. I worked with color and flow, letting the brush and Yupo dictate the organic nature of each line.

I then applied pen & ink details to the watercolored paper.
