AMY

I was inspired by the documentary movie, "Amy," which detailed the slow devolution of the great soulful singer, Amy Winehouse.  While we know of the dissipation and depression, Amy was so much more than that, as the movie reveals.  She could be silly, joyful, and full of fun.  She also had major insouciance, which is what I tried to capture in my painting.
The great soulful singers, and she's up there with Billy Holiday and Edith Piaf, seem to be vehicles for expressing the deepest well of sorrow.  While they do this, they are nevertheless unable to live without going down the deep hole of alcohol and drugs.  The sorrow that wells up from them, also threatens to take them down.  It is a sad, sad, story, and this documentary captures it with proper respect and awe.
Tony Bennett, who was an icon to Amy, and a nurturing mentor, said it best, "If you live  long enough, you can learn how to live." Unfortunately, our most sensitive and vulnerable, never live long enough to find their way.

This painting is oil, 20"H x16" wide, for sale for $200 plus shipping.  If you are interested, contact me at [email protected]

If you are interested in buying either of these paintings, go to Store on this website, or contact me directly (I actually prefer that)at [email protected]. I charge an additional $25 for delivery in the U.S. If you are outside the U.S. I'll need to know your location so I can tell you what the shipping charge would be. I really appreciate your comment, Thank you!
