Eva D. Cowdery (American, 20th century) “Girl Reading” on the Boston Art Club label, signed lr Eva D. Cowdery, taken from HERE

This was a revolutionary act.

Time for yourself and not for others.

Full time and experienced.

The painting has red hair and rosy lip in a single triangle of the white page with the face of intense concentration and contemplation wonderful.

Where contemplation is harmonious union already undivided green hope of affirmation of self.

She does not wait for ratings from other people’s looks and even letters of severe judgments.

I am for me in reading this air of freedom unconquerable.
