Evelyn LC-0097

2017

acrylic ink on canvas, 20 x 20

This French girl with her black beret was done at the end of August 2017. I am calling her Evelyn which means “life”. How apropos, right? She is wide-eyed young woman with a positive outlook on life. This doesn’t mean she ignores life’s problems but instead has an optimistic way of looking at life. She has a laissez–faire (les-ay-fair) attitude, a French term that translates as “leave alone” (literally, “let you do”),  or  “let (people) do” (as they choose). Her life is a reflection of that perspective.
