Hobbes’s Portrait

Hobbes had been hanging out on a restaurant porch for a week begging for someone to be his person and give him a new home.  Mom and I brought him home, gave him some food, and within minutes he had settled into one of the cat beds like he had been always been there.  Hobbes is the most affectionate cat I’ve ever known.  He loves being picked up and carried around.  Any time I hold him he gives me loads of chin rubs with his wet nose.  I had been wanting to do a huge portrait of him for a long time and I knew I wanted to use sunflowers because they look almost as bright and happy as Hobbes.
