Lennon viewed ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ as his finest work with the Beatles. After Lennon’s murder in New York City, a section of Central Park was named after the song.

Another superb addition to your Beatles themed paintings Spencer. Amazing to think that both this song and Penny Lane were on the same single.

Another great representation of the meaning and inspiration for the song Spencer. My two favourite songs of The Beatles are Strawberry Fields & Penny Lane! I’ve still got the 45 somewhere.
