Defender

And this is a drawing I made as a babyshower gift for one of my oldest friends. She was expecting a daughter (who is currently the cutest baby), and I drew this to express something of what I hope for her.

I can tell I was less worried about this picture than either of the paintings I did this summer. It's much looser and freer, and (I think) better for it.

Ink on paper. The color is probably coffee, but I don't quite remember. (Tea, maybe?)
