Companions

A whimsical watercolor illustration stages a wide-eyed, fanged cat beside a small mouse in a blue dress, their exaggerated expressions lending the encounter a theatrical fairy-tale tension. Swirling yellow orbs and a dark, star-flecked ground frame the creatures, while roses gather across the foreground like an ornate floral border. Fine contouring, feathery fur marks, and translucent washes give the richly layered scene both storybook charm and a slightly uncanny edge.
