I Love You Today Daddy


The other day my eldest daughter sent me a text message with a recording of her expressing her love for me that day along with a photo of herself at that moment. It was the brightest point in my day. I was so taken that I made the recording into her ring tone as well. Now when I get a text message from her at work I jump at hearing the voice sound suddenly from my pocket and those around me chuckle.


I have 7 children and they are all such a blessing to me. They give my life complete meaning.


I decided to do my next drawing based off of that quick photo she took of herself. It is ebony pencil on Strathmore 500 paper.

I had 7 children---lost my twins as first babies---sort of know what you mean for sure. The hair in your sketch is uncanny. Such a feeling portrait.
