Hallowe'en drawings, by Maïa

The theme for this week at daycare is — surprise, surprise! — Halloween. Maïa drew this cat pumpkin, as she calls it. The lines coming out of its face are whiskers, which is self-evident, once you know. The eyes are in the shape of hearts. And you can see that the cat pumpkin is surrounded by little hearts, three of which have rounded bottoms, but one is done quite well, I would say! Oh, and that black blob on its head... that's a crown (all princesses need crowns, you know).


The main figure in this tableau is the cat at the centre. Note the vertical pupils in the cat's eyes: Derek told her about cats' pupils a couple of months ago. Her capacity to remember such things always amazes me. The figure to the right is Rapunzel. I'm not sure what she has to do with Halloween, but it's a pretty good likeness, I'd say. The figure to the left is another cat, which you can tell by the whiskers, pupils, and myriad claws.
