Pink Elephants and Lemonade by

Title taken from one of my favourite Madonna songs, ‘Dear Jessie’.

This is a coloured pencil drawing of my niece Ruby. I took a picture of her sleeping and she looked so timeless, it could have been taken today or 100 years ago.

Coloured pencil on paper with a digital vignette texture. 25 × 30cm. Dec 2010
