I love the golden afternoons at the Verona pool—perfect moments to sketch the ease of summer. This drawing captures two people enjoying a quiet, sunlit pause together. I would have drawn them both, but my timing was a little off as they started packing up for the day. Sharing it with them afterward made the experience even more joyful.
