Best Friends

This is a large pastel drawing that I did from my favorite photograph of me and my best friend Jessie. We spent a lot of time on that swing set and the picture captures our personalities that are still so much the same. In the process of deciding how I wanted to draw this image to recreate what I love about it, I considered cropping the image and just having our faces. Including the bodies however allowed me to show two little bodies smooshed together on one swing. This represents how connected the two girls are and how we still lean on each other no matter how much distance life puts between us. Love her!
