How can such a big voice come from such a petite frame? Erykah Badu has had my ears since her first album. I remember in the summer of 1997 listening to her music. I had come off of long term relationship and it seemed like her music cradled my heart. I couldn't tell if it was the summer heat or the melodies of her music that made me feel warm inside. Her album became the soundtrack to my life during that time. You know when that happens, you can't help but reminisce about those days that once were. Surprisingly, her album releases have been parallel to all my break-ups except for this last one. With such an emotional charge from me to her music, it is only right that I homage to her and her music. Thank you E Badu.

I post these videos on my website ikeepmoving.com. I've had some people write me about painting other singers. So it got me to thinking. I will be doing a series of female vocalists that (I feel) really let loose. There will be no Fergie, Mariah Carey, lolli-pops, tootsie rolls or any other candy. Just good food for the soul.

I used the TV mode on my HV30 and had the shutter speed at 8. The F stop was at 2.0 I compensated the shutter speed by using a 15 watt light bulb.

    I like how you blend the blocks of colour, and then build up the layers until it all melts in.

    another nice one Steven :)

    Wow I've never seen someone as talented as you bust out a painting like that. It was really interesting to see the process of it all. Well done sir.
