This picture was inspired by a famous black and white photograph of Diana Ross as Billie Holiday in the movie Lady Sings The Blues (1972). To celebrate my sister's early retirement, I texted her on her last day of work and sent her that iconic photograph. At this point in the movie, Billie Holiday realizes that her current employment circumstances as a prostitute in a local brothel are no longer matching up with who she sees herself as on the inside. So, she decides to up and quit. She's not sure where she's going, but she knows she can no longer stay where she's at. Her dreams and destiny are calling her and she answers the call. Billie Holiday then goes on to rise to fame and fortune, writing and recording some of the greatest American Jazz songs the world has known. I decided to reimagine that iconic photograph in vibrant color, producing my version titled "Honey, I Done Quit".
