This is Aunt Evelyn, my dad's mother's sister who died before I was born. All I know about Evelyn is she drank a lot and never married! And that she was pretty and looked a bit like a flapper girl. I have a pic of the family farm she lived in as a girl but it was too deteriorated to use in the background so I took the liberty of putting the picture of the lakeside resort that my great-grandparents on my maternal side of the family began in 1908 and was, sadly, sold last year. It isn't my thing to paint with the intention of a realistic rendering, but I've wanted to paint her for a while. It does look like her a bit, huh!
