IF: Pattern—Splinter in a Window (243-240)

Illustration Friday's theme for the week is pattern. I made this drawing of Erin's cat Splinter looking out of the window (one of her favorite pastimes). The theme is played out in the pattern of the curtain, the pattern of her fur, and her repetitious pattern of moving from window to window each day to see what is going on outside.



From this window she sees birds in the trees of our yard and is able to annoy the squirrels that attempt to eat our trash cans. She often falls asleep when the warm sun is visible on this side of the house. From this perch she also looks over my shoulder while I work and sometimes will climb down to nap in my lap. Things must be taken on Splinter's terms—also a pattern.
