"Blue Jazz"
"Blue Jazz" is soft pastel on paper. A striking red-haired woman lies on her stomach across rumpled bedding. Her athletic yet softly curved form sinks slightly into the mattress, the natural arch of her back leading to the gentle flare of her hips. She wears only a pair of sleek turquoise headphones, their vibrant pop of color contrasting with her fiery hair, which spills across her shoulders in loose waves.
Her fingers faintly tapping to an unheard rhythm as the headphones immerse her in music. The sheets around her twist in soft folds, their aqua tones complementing her peach-kissed complexion.
This painting captures the simple luxury of being alone with one's thoughts and favorite songs. The music, her own personal retreat, a way to create her own peaceful world whenever she chooses.
