The Meaning of the Blues
Artist
Christel Roelandt
Medium
Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
Portrait of my all time fave Blues Lady, Billie Holiday.
Oh... that melancholy voice, I think I can paint her another fifty times more...
...You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is...
You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues...
