‘Michelle, ma belle …’ by Spencer Lambeth-Angell

Very nice Spencer, another good one in the series 😉

Very well painted.

Loved the song and a great painting to commemorate.

Thank you so much for your kind comments Stephen, Michael and Heather. Much appreciated. It is one of my favourite songs.

Very good Spencer, I like the simple loose background.

Thank you so much Andrew.

Unmistakably French setting nicely done. Great idea for this song. I didn’t know the background story so that’s interesting too.

Another good one to add to your paintings of the Beatles theme!!

Thank you so much for your great comments Martin and David. Much appreciated.

A very chic thoughtful young woman in that Parisian background. Good to get the background info on the song. A rich source of inspiration for this series. What next?

Excellent illustration style drawing!

Thanks very much Lewis. I did go a little stereotypical but at least it made it clear she was French. Especially with the French buildings in outline behind her. I’ve got quite a few more planned, some well known, others not, but I’m not sure which it will be yet. Thank you so much Alan. I wanted the painting to push Michelle forward and therefore felt that the outline of buildings would be suitable.

Great painting Spencer would make a fabulous poster

Wonderful Spencer.

Certainly one of my favourite songs Spencer and another great portrayal in your own unique style.

Thank you so much for your kind words Russell, Denise and Chris. I really do appreciate it.

Excellent painting

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Anne. It is so kind of you.

Great picture, has a really nice vibe.

I love the figure Spencer and the background works well around it.

This is really lovely, Spencer. Wonderful composition, lovely use of shapes and space.

Thank you so much for your lovely comments Jonathan, Coral, David and Seok. I really appreciate your kind words.

Spencer, our eldest daughter is Michelle, and I always liked the song, so this seems kind of familiar. I like the pensive look and the way you’ve handled the background. Very good.

That is very kind of you Tessa. Thank you so much for your comment.

Interesting information Spencer, and a very thoughtful young lady.

Thank you so much Fiona. She’s waiting for her young man to arrive but he’s very late and doesn’t speak French, hence the pensive look. As it says in the song ‘ I will say the only words I know that you’ll understand, my Michelle’. I love a good story in a song!

A favourite of mine, the name and tune so beautiful.
