A cloudy yellow background makes Mister Bess look good for his portrait. I take care of a lot of kittens as foster parent for the animal shelter. Some of them hold a special place in my heart. Bess, with his talent for meowing very loudly and his many facial expression, was one of the. I could not resist painting him. His portrait has become the start of my personal Wall of Fame depicting all the kittens I once fostered.
