Allo, Amélie showcases Mitchell’s ability to create highly stimulating compositions. The painting is inspired from Jean-Paul Riopelle's daughter's name, Sylvie, whose daughter, Amélie, was born in 1973, the year the painting was created. It corresponds to another painting of the same era, Bonjour Julie, which celebrates the birth of Riopelle's granddaughter, Julie, in 1971.
