I’ve been wanting to draw a daddy/daughter portrait for some time. I love drawing moms/grandmoms with their babes so I wanted to do one of a new daddy too. Dad’s are an important part of the equation. When I was commissioned to draw this, I couldn’t wait to get started. As I was drawing, I was constantly reminded of how we can rest in our Heavenly Father’s arms. Psalm 55:22 says “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved (or he will never allow the righteous to be shaken).”
I saw in this drawing a picture of a daddy who was preparing his daughter to know the rest and peace of being dependent on an Almighty God!

I Love this picture! It is so sweet and it truly does capture a spirit of peace, safety and love – also the exhaustion of a new Dad! It is beautiful!
Thank you Tish! I didn’t think about the ‘exhaustion’ factor. So true.
Thank you Dottie. It was a joy to sketch this sweet picture. 💛
Jan… I so love this…. You have captured a true heart!!! You are a gift and a blessing to me… Thank you…
