Lady Sings the Blues
Description
“I’m a massive jazz fan and wanted to paint an image which gives a nod to the amazing jazz scene, specifically in the 1950s. My favourite singers are Billy Holiday and Ella Fitzgerald, who have blessed the world with their incredible and distinctive voices. When painting this piece I yearned to travel back to a smoky basement bar when bebop was at its height and all the men wore the chicest of Italian-cut suits. An obvious colour choice for this painting’s colour palette was a deep blue. I wanted to literally reference ‘the blues’ with a colour that fills the entire venue, reaching every nook and cranny like the music would have done.”
