Oil on Panel, 14 × 14 inches, Unframed

"The Nearness of You" is one of those standards that's about proximity — not grand romantic gestures, but the quiet, physical fact of someone being close. Hoagy Carmichael wrote it, and it's been recorded by everyone from Chet Baker to Norah Jones, each version finding something slightly different in it. What I love is how intimate it is, how small in scale despite the feeling it carries.

This small square panel is part of my Jazz Standards series — works that take their titles and emotional starting points from songs that have meant something to me. Like the song, this painting works in a register that's quiet and close.

Shipping

I include U.S. shipping with no minimum. Please allow 5–10 business days for packaging and dispatch, then an estimated 5–7 business days for domestic transit. I pack shipments with tracking and insurance. For international orders, including Canada, the buyer pays shipping and any applicable import duties, taxes, and customs fees. Crated works typically ship by freight to the curbside or entryway; white-glove delivery is not included and costs extra. Contact me before ordering to discuss particular delivery arrangements.
