Sonia, concentrating on a Rubics cube.

, , , , ,

This is my favorite drawing of Sonia. Maybe because this is the only I made which shows how young and beautiful she was when I made the drawing. I decided to make her concentrate on the solution of the Rubics cube, maybe it made her angry that she never managed to master the principle in the solution of the problem, but this is not visible in the drawing. My impression is that she looks relaxed and at peace with herself in the drawing I made of her this time. Maybe this was only an illusion. But I like this illusion.
In fact I think she was a little irritated with the fact that she never managed to understanf the principles of solving the problem of the Rubics cube
(which I easily can understand, as I used months to solve the problem myself, each night before going to sleep I used 15 - 20 minutes to try to find the solution, untill I one night saw - there was a solution - yes (!) - only one - two - (?) - more moves - and - (?) - YES !!!!! I HAD SOLVED THE PROBLEM! Satisfaction - .)
Her irritation with the problem is not showing in the drawing. Maybe I am only imagining that she is irritated as she in reality does not care at all. Not at all. I am only visualizing my own frustration from the periode when I was trying to find the solution, while she in reality did not care.

I really love this drawing. It has a great serenity over it. And it seems to me that it shows a state of calm focusing. An ideal state of mind for creative work, and to be able to solve certain problems. Well, as you said, she didn't solve it, but you did.
And I like the background. It makes her brighter than on the other pictures.
