"Gideon and Prudence”  Canvas Print. Available in 2 sizes: 40" X 30" and 20" X 16"

“The sun is up, the sky is blue. It's beautiful and so are you, Dear Prudence” -The Beatles

The painting creatively merges elements from the Beatles songs "Rocky Raccoon" and "Dear Prudence.”  "Rocky Raccoon," a whimsical tale of a rugged character seeking revenge in a Western setting is echoed is portrayed in a  journey and quest for resolution. Meanwhile, "Dear Prudence," known for its serene and gentle invitation to enjoy the world, reflects in the soft expressions and interconnected lines, suggesting harmony amidst chaos. Together, the painting encapsulates the dual themes of inner exploration and external confrontation, blending the playful and introspective moods of both songs.

This piece is part of my ongoing exploration of "Faces and Facades," a series of mixed media paintings where people and places intertwine, with architecture serving as a vessel for unseen narratives. Inspired by characters from Beatles songs, each work aims to evoke the stories and emotions hidden beneath the surface, inviting viewers to look beyond the obvious and discover the deeper layers within.
