Jazz Art Competition

Gonna be a Jazz Art Competition in town to be judge by Face Book viewers.
I thought I'd enter this Billie Holiday painting, "The Jazz Singer".
She's done in black and white and all shades in between. I don't know what got into me when I painted her. I did 3 different poses of her, stretching through different times in her life. I was like, "Mesmerized" by her raw talent and beauty. Fabulous artist with a bumpy history, just like the rest of us.
This one is done in oil and measures 16"x16", 1 1/2 gallery wrap with black on the sides.
