Sonia was for a period my favorite model. At the present she is studying in Oslo, and I have not had the possibility to make drawings of her for more than a year. I was very proud of myself when I was doing this picture because she fell asleep when I was drawing. I thought it was the ultimate proof of her confidence in me, but she was just too tired to stay awake. In reality she was a bit sceptical of me, which is very easy to see when you look at the drawing, I did not understand this before after one and a half year. I lived in the illusion of a perfect confidence until a friend told me told me
Oh, she does not look as she is enjoying the situation. I am wondering, still, if I have to be proud or not, as a man, maybe I have to keep on to pretend that she in reality trusted me. Whatever, it was a nice experience to be allowed to make drawings of her, wether she felt she could trust me or not.
