A very special day this week - handing my first ever oil painting over to one of its models! Corina has been a lifeguard at my local swimming pool since I started painting, and I wanted to capture the warm daily chatter between the lifeguards and swimmers. She also had a calm yet regal air sitting high up on her lifesaving throne! Since then Corina has changed lots as has her uniform, but she’s still a supportive presence in the background while we swim.
