I read something here on the thread today that "independence means something different for everyone." With reading that I decided to go with my original concept, although it may not read independence right away, I am a mother of a toddler this is what independence is for me at the moment. Title "House Kitty." Loads of fantastic entries everyone!

@rhirsch I love this idea, so clever!

@lmrush Oh I get it totally! Easily makes sense. And it has a peaceful sanctuary feel to it. Nice job!

Here's my submission. I thought of my little grandson who is learning how to dress himself and be independent. Should have done some more sketches, etc. but, I am learning. This was my first attempt.

@harveywalls Thank you so much

Hello! Happy friday everybody!
Here's my entry. I've been too scared to upload it for two weeks, but now it's early morning, and it's easy to be a little bit braver when you don't know what you're doing yet.

My experience of independence is that it can be very lonely. (if you don't do it right.)

@embla You have nothing to fear, beautiful piece. Love your style, you've got great texture. Your main character stands out as the focal point quite nicely. Great job!
