Artist's Comment:

"This drawing is of my daughter Rebekah Lynn when she was a child. This portrait depicts the idea of kindness to all animals. It was used as an illustration in the vegetarian cookbook DELIGHTFULLY VEGETARIAN. It was accompanied with a caption that stated: “Be a friend to animals...don’t eat them".
