Come Away with Me in the Night is a bold, sensual painting inspired by the evocative lyrics of Norah Jones' song "Come Away with Me". The figure in the painting reclines peacefully, absorbed in a book, her face glowing with a sense of quiet longing. The cover of the book, adorned with a glass and red lips, hints at the kind of literature she’s indulging in — one that teases, tantalizes, and pulls the reader into a world of passion and escape.

The swirling, dynamic background, reminiscent of Van Gogh's Starry Night, evokes a dreamlike atmosphere, blurring the line between reality and fantasy. This visual landscape mirrors the emotional world of the figure, who is immersed in a narrative that invites both adventure and intimacy, echoing the invitation in the song's lyrics. The vibrant, fluid colors and bold brushstrokes reflect the emotional depth of the moment, emphasizing the seductive nature of both the book and the world it transports her to.

Through Come Away with Me in the Night, Vandamme explores the connection between literature, desire, and the escape found in stories. The painting speaks to the yearning to step away from the mundane and lose oneself in a world of intrigue and romanticism, just as the song's title suggests a journey of shared moments in the quiet of the night.
