Starting with this portrait of Billie Holiday, I have it in mind to do a series of portraits of Black American singers and musicians as a way to honor their colossal contributions to American music. I was once a singer myself, and Billie Holiday (aka "Lady Day," aka Eleanora Fagan) was a great inspiration in my younger days.
