This fine art print of my original painting Summertime… and the livin’ is easy, inspired by the timeless jazz classic performed by legendary African-American singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nina Simone. The piece is a tribute to their powerful, sensual presence and the soul-stirring warmth of jazz.
Rendered in a pop-art style that merges pop culture with fine art, the print portrays a Black woman singing gracefully, her face partially obscured by the shadow of an elegant white hat. Her bold red lips serve as the central focal point, standing out vividly against an emerald green background that exudes elegance and allure.
The design includes the iconic phrase from the song, adding a vintage touch and paying homage to the retro aesthetic of the jazz era. This evocative artwork reimagines the essence of a Black jazz singer performing into a vintage microphone, celebrating the timeless charm of femininity.
Original painting also available for sale.
