Psychedelic Pop Art Oil Painting of John
LennonFinally, 40 years after first having the idea, I have completed a painting of John Lennon based on the psychedelic
poster issued in 1967.
It's only thanks to Google Images that I have been able to fulfil this ambition,
as the posters sold out on the day of issue, and I didn't have anything for
reference. However I was able to download a jpeg photo via Google, and used this as the basis
for my canvas.

John Lennon is my favourite Beatle and because of that I was actually quite scared to commit any paint to canvas.
If I was going to paint Lennon it had to be good, and I wasn't sure how it woud turn out.
In my head it was brilliant, I knew how I wanted it to look, but I wasn't sure I could do it.
The colours are different to the poster, but I think they work and I'm very happy with the way it has turned out. I
think I have done Lennon justice, and I'm proud to have this hanging on my wall.
My current pricing policy is to sell paintings at a low cost comparable to a print. However I
think this Lennon painting is good, and I won't therefore sell it for less than £97. It was completed in oils on a stretched canvas over
a wooden frame measuring 15.5" x 19.5".
I'm not worried whether I sell this or not, because after 40 years of dreaming I'm just glad to
have it hanging on my wall. :-) John McNally
