This is an acrylic painting from William Gottliebs photo This photo of Billie Holliday is perhaps Mr Gottliebs most recogsnisable work,and I felt Blessed to have the permission of William Gottlieb Jr. to represent his fathers work in this medium. I can only hope that I have properly captured the warmth and passion that Mr. Gottlieb originally captured of this amazing beauty and tatent.
