I Painted Her at Halcyon Coffee and Bar

She was working at Halcyon, in the corner booth.

She was sitting at Halcyon, working on her computer. She was very well-coiffed, and knew how to pull together accessories. I’ve never been into that level of fussiness, but this woman made it look effortless. She was obviously very smart. I figured that she must be a lawyer, but who knows… Love her unabashed brandish: her red hair in the rust ensemble and chunky necklace. Very powerful statement.
