There's a song I've forgotten. I like your painting. She has the right expression.

I began singing this immediately in my head Spencer. You’ve got to be a Beatles fan - from all your previous postings.

Good one Spencer.

Another good painting Spencer from a great Beatles song.

This takes e back to those heady days Spencer. A great depiction of character.

A nice addition to the project, well done.

Eye catching Spencer…love the pose and expression.

I'm with Marjorie, started singing this in my head straight away!

Ah lovely Rita! Thanks for the memory Spencer.

This Beatles song was inspired by a female traffic warden giving Paul McCartney a parking ticket outside Abbey Road Studios. The song appeared on the 1967 album, ‘Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’.

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.
