Memorial (ballpoint pen)

Here it is, as last! Drawn entirely in ballpoint pen (except for four yellow highlights in my hair which were drawn in gel pen because no yellow ballpoints were to be found anywhere in Australia!), just less than A4 in size, and having taken a bajillion years to complete, the drawing shows my Dad and I halfway up St Mary's Peak in Wilpena Pound, the Flinders Ranges, South Australia in 2010.
My reasons for not uploading this two weeks ago when I finished it include having to remember to bring it home to scan and then being too lazy to edit the scan. But here it is! A year and 14 days since Dad's passing, here is my memorial, my tribute, my thanks, my drawing, my art major.
I found the process of creating this therapeutic, cathartic, meditative and enjoyable and I'm very, very proud of the outcome! It is my second realistically coloured ballpoint pen drawing.
