My Latest Drawing

I've been in the mood to draw recently as a diversion from painting.  "A Little Reassurance" is a 22x15 charcoal. It's not a commission for anyone, I just felt like creating a drawing that tells a story. The little girl is the subject of a portrait I did a couple of years ago. She was a little apprehensive the day I took photos so she was holding her mother's hand. I drew the daughter low in the compositions to show that she is small and just added the hand to tell the story.
