Evelyne as a Caryatid
" Evelyne as a Caryatid"
We had lunched with a friend who ran an optical shop in Brest, drinking cider in a high-rise restaurant which overlooked the surroundings a bit like a lighthouse. Evelyne wore that day a white sheath dress that suited her perfectly, with her matching pumps. Our friend suggested that we go to one of the points of Finistère, that of PenHir. It was nice and warm, Evelyne had taken a gray woolen waistcoat for the coolness of the morning that she had left in the car.
Now her shoulders were bare in the heat of the afternoon sun. Eveleyne has gathered her hair in braids, but this braid now embarrasses it, it makes a curl to shorten it, and becomes before my eyes a caryatid which carries the beauty of the Brittany sky, I would like to make a modeling, I take the photo which will inspire me this sketch.

Evelyne and the puppies of the Valley of King
Before meeting Evelyne, I loved dogs and I was careful with the cats. I learned with her to appreciate them. When we visited Egypt, Evelyne met a lot of cats (I have a portrait of her stroking a cat that I might post one day) She had bought this beautiful cardigan a few days before to wear it on the last evening of the Nile cruise. It was late morning in the Valley of Kings and the heat was getting very hot, we were going back to the boat for lunch. Three hungry little puppies approached Evelyne hoping that she would feed them. But unfortunately we had nothing to give them...

Evelyne with ponytail and horse
We went for walks in autumn near Evelyn's parents house. She wore her hair tied up in in a ponytail tied with a simple black bow tie, I thought it was so graceful. She brought her hand to caress the horse, the ample sleeve accentuating this supple and delicate movement. In french "Hairs" is written "cheveux" ans "horses" is written "chevaux". Just different because of the "e" instead of the "a". The tittle is " Les cheveux d'Evelyne" you can imagine "Les chevaux d'Evelyne".My pleasure was that Evelyne noticed it when I show her this sketch of an illustration

Evelyne with the roman dress
We had been invited to a charmeing provincial wedding in the beautiful city of Nevers. We had come by motorcycle and I had discovered the pretty dress that Evelyne had bought for this occasion just when we had dressed to go to the church for the marriage. The cut was simple but with an original over tunic held at the waist by a belt, it made me think of a Roman dress that elegant women had to wear in Rome during time of the Empire, of a blue grey which put so well in value the soft skin of Evelyne she had slightlty tanned during summer.It is such a pleasure when the beautiful young woman who does you the honor of accompanying you shines in your eyes more than a bride ...in a simple but unforgettable dress. Evelyne gave me this everywhere,.. in Nevers, Britain and Saqqarah.

Evelyne at sacred lake, Karnak
Evelyne had wished to take a cruise in Egypt,
We had arrived in Cairo, then Aswan, from there, and we had taken the plane to see the magnificent temples moved from Abu Simbel, and then the boat trip up the Nile, Evelyne had bought this simple white tunic with a double blue border, We visited the great temple of Amun in Karnak on the shores of the sacred lake.
Evelyne saw a beetle and crouched down to get a closer look. I've always loved her hair and all the ways she combs it.
The sun against the light, her body as a concentrate of sensuality, I took the photo to remember this moment. It was not until many years later that I saw this photo again to make it a watercolor.
I will post another of these poses of Evelyne in Egypt from a recent digital drawing.

Evelyne , the blue silk blouse at Christmas
I was busy with my work at advertising agency and competing for designing a new template of cover for a book collection of a famous publishing company.
But Christmas was coming soon, and I wanted so much to make a personal gift to Evelyne. A few weeks before, I had taken two close-up photos of Evelyne wearing this delicate blue silk blouse. It was her beautiful face so much in a cold and dramatic mood but so much inspiring, I drawn a sketch so quickly. At this time, I liked to paint with an airbrush, without using cut plastic masks but only a sheet of paper to keep some blurry between the colors .
I had not seen Evelyne for weeks, only some phone calls, it was decided to meet up with her family in her parents's house to celebrate Christmas together. I finished the portrait a day before Christmas and left Paris in the afternoon, sleeping in the car of Evelyn's sister's husband. Evelyn was finshing her work late at beauty salon and would join us by train. I was waiting at Evelyne's parents's home. Evelyne's brother had gone by car to pick her up when she arrived at station. I heard the sweet sound of her voice when she entered the house, and she walked through the door to enter the dining room. I looked at her face so intensely with love, I thought that no portrait could ever render her beauty. But I tried, and tried and always try. And Evelyne always kindly encourage me.

Evelyne " Les yeux revolver"
Evelyne had finished her beautician studies as I had finished my art studies.
I had my first job in an advertising agency near The Louvre which would allow us to rent a small two-room appartment in the Montparnasse, district of Paris.
Evelyn had done an internship at Tours to give patients cosmetics care in an hospital environment.She was now looking for a job in a beauty salon.We took some shoots to make her a "book" to help her to find a job in Paris.
This sketch is inspired from one of my favourite photo of Evelyne with her "killing eyes". When, like Evelyne, you have a natural Beauty you don't have to search complicated way to shoot, simple side light and Evelyne gives you a gorgeous shoot. Few years later she couldn't stop listening a song called "Elle a les yeux revolver" (her eyes are guns) indeed she had. They always shoot me from that time. Luckyly, they kissed me too.
