One of the big singers of the Jazz!! It is an excellent and very strange portrait! Bravooo JPoulos!!

she was such a heroin heroine...I loved the "Lady Sings The Blues" movie with Diana Ross and Richard Prior...so it's a combination of Ross/Holiday getting high in the back room thanks for your visit

Bellísimo amigo jpoulos2561, los efectos y el color empleado son realmente bellos muy bien logrados, los efectos de luz y la sensualidad que trasmite, a mis años me hacen soñar.

muchas gracias Roberto

Beautiful John - you amaze me as you master various styles and techniques. Love the colors and technique you used in order to create such a personalized effect of the subject.

merci Pierrot

Lovely green tints. You are totally successful in capturing the essence of her feminine body.

thank you

a little question. May I ask you what program you used in this piece (if it is not a secret)? The work is really nice.

Thank you...no secrets...maybe a mystery...WHY would I do it in Photoshop!? with a mouse? and right-handed when I can barely draw (compared to so many - like yourself) with my favored left??

so you are left handed as me.Interesting!

...so many of the greats... ...as Paul Simon said, "That's the hand to use, well, never mind"

merci beaucoup Claudine

very good, it makes me think to Edward Hooper, I don't know why...

merci didgiv...other than the oft parodied "Nighthawks," Hopper did paint a few gloomy interiors I think...maybe that's it...

wow. awesome mood

thanks Al...heroin will do that for you...so I hear
