Sipping Sweetly

I decided to draw my very first portrait as a Christmas gift for two very special people, and I'm so glad I did! This is my first human drawing and I think it will always be my favorite. After all, how can you resist such sweetness?! This was drawn from a favorite photo that was taken nearly fourteen years ago. I've always loved this moment in time, it is truly a favorite memory!
