Abby, asleep on daddy's shoulder... charcoal and graphite on paper, Original..10x13, prints available..6x5, double matted

---

The Story Behind the Image:  Every summer my church has a "tent service" one evening during the county fair.  It was very warm as usual during that time of year and Abby had spent the afternoon enjoying the fair with her daddy.  The music was playing and people were singing...I looked over and Abby was sound asleep in her daddy's arms.  There was such a trusting peace about the expression on her face and the way she kept snuggling into her daddy's neck. 

This portrait has always been a favorite of mine, there is just something special about the relationship a little girl has with her daddy.  It brings to mind more secure uncomplicated times.

The drawing Abby, asleep on her daddy's shoulder is on cream toned fine art paper and presented in a double mat.  It is also offered in Limited Edition Prints and Artist Proofs...check my Portfolio for availability of the Original and prices.
