Well done Spencer, very thoughtful picture.

I seem to recall him 'punishing' Cynthia too Spencer, he had a nasty streak to say the least.

Your paintings are always thought provoking Spencer.

I don’t know the song Spencer but your painting and representation of the emotion is very strong.

A very early one and a very good interpretation Spencer. There were a few all written along the same lines such as Run For Your Life Little Girl which can be taken the same way. But hey Delilah by Tom Jones is now banned for its lyrics at rugby matches. Any way I'm enjoying your series so much keep them coming Spencer.

Continuing my Beatles theme ‘I’ll cry instead’, was written in 1964 by John Lennon, according to his wife wife Cynthia as a cry for help. Lennon stated that the lyrics represented his frustration with success and the sense that he’d lost his freedom. The song has been described as one of Lennons ‘stalker’ songs. He is also crying for the loves he has lost and plans to seek vengeance and break the hearts of girls around the world, thereby punishing anyone who has rejected him.

I only took up painting during the lockdown so a lot of my work is experimental trying to find out what techniques work well for me.
