Hello everyone ! Things have been quite busy at my end lately. To make a long story short, I gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on August 26th and blogging has been the last thing on my mind since then. Anyhow I wanted to squeeze in one last blog post before this lovely year ends,so here is a little finale to the wonderful year of 2013.
I have had very little time to work on new drawings, hence I have one completed commission and one partly finished drawing to show. I had a wonderful time doing a lovely little commission for a friend who wanted to gift her husband a graphite drawing by me. Here are some shots below.

2013 has been a blessed year for me with a lot of beautiful things that happened and here’s hoping 2014 will be even better. I wish you all a happy and pleasant 2014.
WISHING ALL YOU LOVELY PEOPLE A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
