"Sing to me Billy" by Sherwin Long

property of SJLart inc.

medium: Acrylic Paint

size 11"x14"

What inspired me to do this painting was that I didn't feel I painted enough classic women that embodied the strength and confidence a real woman is known for. I usually draw women looking seductive but I wanted her to look like she was contemplating something important. I also wanted to stay true to my style and have fun in the process of making such an intricate piece. I think its hard to find a lot of women that still have the composure that woman back then portrayed, but maybe thats because the chivalry has dissipated as well. Billie Holiday is looked up to by performers,singers,visual artist, and aspiring black women around the world because she was able to put so much passion and emotion into her music that you could feel her pain.
