Nest

Part two of a drawing I was commissioned to make for a dear friend. The first (click here to see the post) featured her carrying her first child, while the second features her newborn son.  

When I was approached to do this, I asked if I could be given free rein.  They said yes. I had been inspired by a Bob Dylan song, "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall:"

Oh, what did you see, my blue-eyed son?
Oh, what did you see, my darling young one?
I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it
I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

Little did I know that my friend had already chosen Dylan as the child's middle name in honor of the singer.  I think it must have been meant to be, or Providence, as it were. 


Like the first drawing, I wanted a feeling of safety to pervade the drawing. I hope I have achieved it.

I purchased your lovely "The Wow Factor, Words of Wisdom from Wise older Women" and love it. Now my daughter is pregnant and I wanted to give her "Nest". Is a print for sale?
