Title: “I want to hold your hand”
Medium: Acrylic on canvas
Size: 24″X36″
Story: When I start work on one of the Beatles songs, I always play
around with ideas for a couple of days in my head.
I used the same approach for “I want to Hold Your Hand” painting and
headed up to my studio to start work on it. But just before I was going
upstairs, I had seen something in a documentary about cave art and for
some reason I switched out my original idea and started work. I decided
to use my hand prints on this painting and I heard my wife rummaging
around downstairs and so I asked her to come upstairs for a minute. And
so I asked her to place her handprints onto the canvas along with mine.
It was just one of those spontaneous things that happen in my work.
Things are spontaneous but also have a thread running through them in
the form of peace, love, and conflict.
