The Beatles

Title: “The Beatles”
Medium: acrylic on canvas
Size:36″X72″

Story: When the Beatles burst onto the music scene in the early sixties,
the world went mad.

The names of a few of their songs have been written across the surface of this
painting because it often only takes the title of one of their songs to
have memories flood back. Some bring joy. Some, such as, “Yesterday”, bring a sadness.

Certain colours do that for me as well.

I also wanted to include their parents names because the idea of
honouring generations is important to me. Ringo was 10 lbs when he was born. I just tossed that in for fun.
