Loose pen lines and sparse watercolour capture a painfully recognisable sports moment: the coach crouches down, the swimmer with orange swim cap clings to the edge, the crowd fades into the background. The punchline - "Look, you try really hard; but you just don't have any talent." - is dry, mildly venomous and precisely hit. The cool blue water and single colour accent direct your gaze to the meeting of ambition and judgement. Humour and humanity swim lane to lane here: you smile first, then recognise your own training drive. Perfect for home, office or clubhouse.
