Holding on Summer - Lady in pink

Well, cold days are now here, and I still think of Summer days. One of the last days we went to the beach, I did a very quick pencil sketch of a lady while she was getting in the sea for a swim (the sketch took me 2 min or so). For some reason, her image remained in my head and I decided to do a quick color sketch of that image, which you see bellow. I know it is not what everyone would imagine when thinking of a lady in pink on a beach, but I was only trying to capture the pleasure of that late summer swim rather than a "perfect" body. Small size watercolor, 5x7 inches, done with Camlin paints on Waterford 140 lb CP paper.
