Louise, an Orthopaedic Surgeon specialising in tumour and trauma, kindly allowed me to paint her during Lockdown 1, amidst the strains and horrors of the early pandemic.
Layers of semi-translucent paint intwined with Lou’s striking portrait makes for an emotional final piece.
The reality of this painting is a harsh mix of exhaustion throughout a time of despair, heartbreak, love, loss, heroism, loneliness and light.
