From the Loved Ones series.

This is an original ink painting on 100% cotton BFK Rives paper, 11X15 inches.

"For Ella Fitzgerald, jazz singing was a way to wallow in joy; Billie Holiday used it to confront her grief. And to Sarah Vaughan, it was a nirvana where everything was possible and nothing went wrong. The legendary vocalist, who died in 1990, had a chocolate-mousse contralto that dipped into bass territory and soared to birdlike highs. Vaughan improvised extravagantly melodic lines; she heard all the harmonic choices in a chord and breezed through them at will. Her voice had the textures and colors of an orchestra. And she swung." Sarah-Ella-Etta-Dinah-Amy... I love them all so much.
