This is an ORIGINAL Drawing(not a print), signed and dated. Introducing the Black Cat Drawings with Birthstones by Month. Hope you like them. TURQUOISE is the birthstone for the month of December. Turquoise supposedly helps one to start new projects. Turquoise has been thought to warn the wearer of danger or illness by changing color. In the 13th century, Turquoise was thought to protect the wearer from falling especially from horses. Legend has it that the Indians believed that if turquoise was affixed to a bow, the arrows shot from it would always hit their mark. It was also believed to bring happiness and good fortune to all. I always look for details in my drawings, or paintings. The photo shown does not show exactly the real colors of an artwork. Colors may vary slightly due to the photographic process, and individual monitors. The colors you see on your monitor may not accurately reflect the actual colors. Each drawing is sprayed with Fixatif, to prevent smudging and wrinkling. Arrives in a protective plastic cover. Used Artagain/Strathmore 60lbs. paper with Prismacolor Premier Colored Pencils. SOFT PASTEL INFORMATION IMPORTANT: This drawing has been sprayed with fixative, however some smudging may occur, please handle with care and avoid touching the surface directly. I recommend framing under glass and keeping away from direct sunlight.
