acrylic on canvas paper, 12" x 12"
I must say, this was a fun painting to do. Amy Winehouse was such a colorful character, in addition to her phenomenal talent as a singer, songwriter, and stylist. I thought it befitting that her portrait should also be a riot of color. She was completely unique, a singular force in a world that craved ever more of her, and in the end, it devoured her. I hope the world will learn to cultivate and revere uniqueness such as hers, and at the very least, give a closer listen to her music. I've titled this painting after one of her lesser known tunes but one of my absolute favorites for its sultry licks, clever lines, and fun sense of humor.
