A nice relaxing swim. Followed by getting changed in a room full of women who have it seems, long since past caring about privacy. I’m guessing they too have had kids.
Me Time.

I think “It’s just a body”

Just wondering… In a moment like this where folks are exposed, do you sketch from memory?

Hi yes I appreciate your concern.. It’s memory mixed with image references which in this case I took from a life drawing book that I bought in water stones bookshop! Don’t worry I’d never photograph people without consent.. Certainly not naked people!

I know what you mean re: kids. I used to swim at Swiss Cottage in London when I was expecting my first child. I was stuck by how uninhibited many of the women were. Now a mother of two, I am a lot more at ease with nudity. There is no place for awkward embarrassment during childbirth and afterwards you also realise that it’s simply not important either. That’s actually quite liberating!

“Mothers” that word should be the most respected word.

Right on. Been there many times, and I always think to myself “bravo for them”. I myself am not quite ready to let it all hang out in front of strangers yet… but the day will come, I’m sure.
-New follower. Really liking your stuff! Cheers 🙂

haha! I’ve been in the same situation! I care a lot less now than I once did. I try not to look. I think most do the same. As to my own body, I do try to be discrete, but if someone sees something… *raspberry* Whatever!
