Lady Madonna - Original Painting

“Lady Madonna”  40” X 30” X 2” Mixed Media on a Cradled Wood Panel, Framed

“Lady Madonna, children at your feet. Wonder how you manage to make ends meet. Who finds the money when you pay the rent. Did you think that money was heaven sent?” - The Beatles

This painting was inspired by the Beatles song "Lady Madonna" through its vibrant, collage-like depiction of a woman in a relaxed, almost playful pose. The use of bold, angular shapes and contrasting colors reflect the lively, energetic spirit of the song, which celebrates resilience and everyday charm. The woman's floral skirt and the colorful, abstract background evoke a sense of individuality and joy, capturing the song's celebration of a strong, nurturing figure amid the chaos of daily life

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 a character from a 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.

This painting is also available as a canvas print

My mixed media paintings consist of acrylic paint and digital collage. They are painted on museum quality archival paper and then laminated to a cradled wood panel, varnished, waxed and then framed in a black floater frame.
