All animals enjoy a beautiful day outside.
Well, Japanese artistHiroki Takedacaptures the beauty of this relationship in his series of verdant watercolor paintings.
These botanical-inspired paintings feature charismatic cats and dogs, hamsters, birds, lizards, and more.
In each one, Takeda uses the form of the animal as the outline for a natural paradise.
Takeda often completes these dazzling compositions with a visit from a wandering butterfly.
