Portrait from memory

This is a sketch, drawn from memory, of Louise, in response to her self portrait on the media hub.

She looked so serious that I had to show the other side of her.



She came to visit me for a weekend and I was aware, most of the time, of her infectious laugh. This sketch is taken from a photo that was still on my camera and so it is a combination of looking briefly at the tiny image in the camera, which kept disappearing, and the memory of her laugh.

What I wanted was the feeling of joy that came from her.
