00:00:00.150 --> 00:00:04.710
<v ->Well, James is my partner's son-in-law,</v>

2
00:00:04.710 --> 00:00:07.440
and I've known him for quite a long time.

3
00:00:07.440 --> 00:00:10.950
And I really wanted to paint him

4
00:00:10.950 --> 00:00:14.700
because he had an accident when he was younger,

5
00:00:14.700 --> 00:00:18.360
which decided him on becoming a paramedic

6
00:00:18.360 --> 00:00:19.830
and it was so important

7
00:00:19.830 --> 00:00:22.710
because he got burnt very badly,

8
00:00:22.710 --> 00:00:25.080
and he studied so hard,

9
00:00:25.080 --> 00:00:27.180
and I adore him, of course.

10
00:00:27.180 --> 00:00:29.520
And not only that, he's good looking.

11
00:00:29.520 --> 00:00:31.333
So it was so good.

12
00:00:31.333 --> 00:00:34.620
And he came and he agreed,

13
00:00:34.620 --> 00:00:39.090
and he was so good standing.

14
00:00:39.090 --> 00:00:41.310
He just stood like a soldier

15
00:00:41.310 --> 00:00:43.650
and gave me many sittings.

16
00:00:43.650 --> 00:00:47.940
And as a paramedic, it was really busy,

17
00:00:47.940 --> 00:00:50.943
so I was very lucky to get him.

18
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:53.626
<v ->Really, my pleasure.</v>

19
00:00:53.626 --> 00:00:58.290
I'd be honest, I was very nervous and very reluctant

20
00:00:58.290 --> 00:00:59.400
'cause that's just not something that I do.

21
00:00:59.400 --> 00:01:01.920
I would probably prefer to be dealing

22
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:03.150
with the major trauma right now

23
00:01:03.150 --> 00:01:05.190
than standing here and talking to you,

24
00:01:05.190 --> 00:01:06.900
I'd be a lot calmer and more relaxed.

25
00:01:06.900 --> 00:01:11.700
But I love Tina and anything to help her.

26
00:01:11.700 --> 00:01:13.050
And I'll say this,

27
00:01:13.050 --> 00:01:16.396
it was an absolute privilege to be painted by her,

28
00:01:16.396 --> 00:01:18.570
to watch her work,

29
00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:22.793
and it wasn't a chore for me standing for her.

30
00:01:22.793 --> 00:01:24.960
Watch her mix the paints

31
00:01:24.960 --> 00:01:27.817
and to watch her do what she did on the canvas,

32
00:01:27.817 --> 00:01:29.910
it'll be something that I'll remember

33
00:01:29.910 --> 00:01:30.900
and I'll always cherish.

34
00:01:30.900 --> 00:01:34.200
It was a privilege and in the end I'm glad I said yes

35
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:35.850
because it was a great experience for me

36
00:01:35.850 --> 00:01:37.377
and I'll remember it for the rest of my life.

37
00:01:37.377 --> 00:01:39.330
I'm so grateful that she decided to paint me

38
00:01:39.330 --> 00:01:41.100
'cause she's a brilliant artist

39
00:01:41.100 --> 00:01:44.717
and to see where it began and where it is now,

40
00:01:44.717 --> 00:01:47.040
I think it's just brilliant.

41
00:01:47.040 --> 00:01:50.370
So I was very honoured and very grateful so.

42
00:01:50.370 --> 00:01:51.720
<v Betina>Thank you James.</v>
