Study for "Jeanne" 11x14 Original Portrait Painting

« Je n’ai pas peur, je suis née pour ce faire » - Jeanne d’Arc

Jeanne D’Arc is such a badass. She helped end the 100 years war, put back a French king on the throne, and reinforce the country of France as we know it now. She died at 19, burned alive by the Englishmen who considered her a witch. Without her, we might not have the country of France. Imagine a life without the French? I sure can’t.

This quote came to me as I was finishing this study. I was initially going to name her “Anything You Want To Be”, but I can’t think of a better woman to personify anything you want to be than Jeanne. She was driven and dreamed of a free France. She did everything she could to achieve it. She’s a powerful reflection of where you can go if you set your mind to it. Stop holding yourself back. If you aren’t happy, make a change. Good things are happening to you. Just you wait. Your future is so bright.
