Harlem Renaissance

This is an illustration from Harlem's Little Blackbird: The Story of Florence Mills by Renée Watson and illustrated by Christian Robinson.

Miguel Covarrubias(1904-1957)

The painting is called "Rhapsody in Blue" and it originally in color but this is the the version that inspired me.

This is actually from Princess and the Frog. It was produced by Disney and I didn't realise the picture was from the movie I just was drawn to it. 

This is the final piece. I used paint for the woman and the black background and I used crayon to make the fist.
