Marina

As you get to know the models a little more, it is so interesting to hear their tales. They are viewed as perfect specimens. Peoples reactions to them and how they are reacting to this attention.

It was a fascinating encounter and though I did not do her beauty justice here, I was pleased to have the opportunity to appreciate and paint Marina.
