Description
Delighted to offer 'Noteworthy' as a fine art print & more! Truly a 'labor of love' ~ this soft pastel creation includes several greats of Jazz & Blues, including a young Billie Holiday, Dinah Washington, Duke Ellington & Nina Simone [top left]. Coming from a musical family & playing piano by ear as a tiny tot, creating this piece was especially near & dear to my heart! Makes a wonderful addition to any office or home decor. Enjoy!

NOTE: Always look for print options best-suited to show the finer details of an image, like premium quality photo paper [for framed or unframed pieces].

Original poetry by Brooks Garten Hauschild ~
T a n g o
[Poetry in Motion]
'Like a lover,
he held the sax,
moving hypnotically.
The yellow-gold of his instrument
set-off his dark hair and eyes,
while his fingertips savored
the last drops of each note.
Through the smoke and heat,
his eyes caught mine,
black i n t o blue.
Half a smile lit his clean-shaven face. I swear
he winked, but I could’ve been mistaken.
He wore a tiny gold cross in one ear
and his hair combed back
from a face I’ve dreamed.
His lips were full, almost feminine.
He made me want to Tango.
I’ve never danced the Tango.
Taking a break from the music,
he turned and headed straight toward me.
Silver taps c l i c k e d under worn black boots.
I couldn’t stop smiling.
His hand met mine
and didn’t let go.
He smelled of peppermint and chocolate.
He taught me to Tango."

Hi Brooks! I'm paying you a 'surprise 25 clicks' visit today, starting with this beautiful image, which I'll also be posting in our 'SURPRISE M E' thread in 'A Woman's Touch'. Have a great day! F LF

This is fabulous, Brooke. I keep seeing more and more in it. I really love how the treble clef twists around and morphs into a horn. And the ear! Wildly imaginative, all!
Karen Adams
Brooks, this is incredible! Love the portraits, the lighting, the composition, the wonderful feel . . . captures the rhythm of the music, but I also feel the darkness from which Jazz is rooted . . . . really really like this one! . . . .f/ltw

So absolutely brilliant beautiful dear Brooks. Hope you are doing ok. It has been a strange time on this end too, different reasons of course. I will try to catch up a bit today. So sorry I was not able to support your group these last few days.
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Thank you so much for the kind words, dear Sharon! Yes, lots going on for different reasons. Such is life! We are all always playing 'catch up'! I'll see you in AWT...and Pixels when you can get there.
Celeste Mayne
Beautiful tribute to the musical greats; and an amazing composition that you created using pastel!
Brooks Garten Hauschild replied:
Thank you so much, Celeste! A 'labor of love'. The original is matter & framed in our living room so I see it everyday and am reminded of who much work went into its creation!
Anita Pollak
What a beautiful and creative work of jazz art, dear Brooks - love the artists and the way you blended them so beautifully with the instruments! l/f
