I am going to add color to this canvas; I just haven't decided how. Like your scissor cutting pieces, I can choose to highlight the space in between the lines, or the lines themselves. I like working on pieces like this because there are no rules, there is no rush and it poses enough of a challenge to keep things interesting.

I like Gracie's surprised yet mysterious expression. Your canvas work reminds me of something I used to do as a scissor cutting craft. On some of my drawings, I'd cut away only the lines, on others I'd cut away everything but the lines. The composition would become entirely different when backed with different colors/patterns. It was a relaxing hobby for me. If the dark shape next to Gracie was a black top hat with that light shining out of it, you could entitle the photographic study as “Black Cat Magic”.
