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...

I`m a Belgian painter from the beautiful city of Ghent in Flanders. I have a great love of portraits; trying to capture the moment and the feeling in the subject`s eyes. My work focuses on the human form; faces and nudes. I'm inspired by all things beautiful and often by books, music and films. Thanks for your visit here! Christel. (All rights reserved.
