Doing a piece like this is always fun, if only because it's great to play with a subject that people have such a visceral reaction to. You could make the rat cutesy, but it's so much more interesting to put a somewhat repulsive thing in such a positive context. Thanks all, for the kind comments!

The colors of the background work so well with the snow, very zen. I especially like the air breathed from his nose towards the flower (plum?). Love it! This is awesome Patrick!

I love your metaphors, sadly, yes, we do think the rat is icky... strangely I didn't think I did until recently when we thought we had one in our apartment. Oh Wonderful!
