Saint John

Very Nice... A Great Man...

Love all the subtle detail in this Skylar. It is very clever. Sorry Eric opinion on here , I don't think John Lennon was a great man. He was a brilliant musician and lyricist. But great man...no.

Love this, Skylar x

Beautifully accomplished Skylar.

Excellent Skylar, The light reflections on his glasses are superb. A great likeness.

What defines a great man?..hmm Sylvia? John Was Pro Peace, Anti War, Anti Violence, His music positively influenced millions of people around the World, and still continues to do so.. In this, he was a leader and a great man.. In my opinion.. Was he perfect..no Who is? He achieved something in his life a lot of other people can only dream of...

A fab portrait, Skylar, I love the rainbow like reflection in his glasses.

Thanks very much, Eric!

Sylvia - Thank you for your comments and opinion. I chose the title because of the varying opinions of the man. Personally, I found his music to be superior. I didn't always agree with his politics. As I noted in the Forum post, To be called a saint doesn't mean "Perfection"

Thank you very much, Shirley!

Carole - Thanks so very much!

Denise - Thank you! That reflection on the lens was an organic progression.

Eric - Thank you for your elucidations.

Leslie - I appreciate your comments. Thank you!

It's good we can all have our own opinions and agree to disagree. I still think its a fab pic..... On another note...I did dance the night away in the Cavern in the sixties...

Lovely painting of someone, who is greatly missed. I just wonder what else he would have created, had he been allowed to continue….😭

Sylvia - Discourse is a good thing. Part of why I stay on this sight is the presence of so many different views - views of the world, views of other's art, views on controversy, views on life.

Linda - Thank you! Yes, I think he was probably coming into his own more clearly.

A great painting, thought provoking. Well done.

Thank you so very much, Sue!
