Luminous Fashion Portrait

A minimalist classical Japanese sumi-e ink painting on bright white washi paper, vertical 2:3 portrait. Scene: a soft mossy temple garden (Kokedera) everything soft, green and old, a small stone lantern and a still pond, gentle sparse ink, set in the upper and middle area, lots of empty white space (ma). The entire background moss, lantern, pond, trees is painted in pure black-and-white sumi-e ink, soft and quiet, hand-painted brushstrokes, NOT busy. In the lower-left, ONE small stray cat is stepping quietly along the moss with one front paw lifted mid-step, seen in side profile, calm. IMPORTANT: only the cat is in full natural color a warm ginger/orange tabby with soft stripe markings and clearly visible fur texture, brightly and evenly lit, the single spot of color in an otherwise monochrome ink painting. The cat is about 12-16% of the frame. No text, no red seal, no signature, no watermark. --hd --profile p2mqvj3
