Painting - Watercolour
Description
Although the music of John Lennon will always be vibrant and alive he also stood on the world stage setting an example for Peace and Love. I hoped to capture in this portrait his vibrancy but also a sadness as the world has not yet found peace. TRY HARDER TO IMAGINE.....then act on it!

Thank you Joseph for your nice compliment. A thought a more sombre and somewhat distorted portrait may do justice to the loss the world felt and more importantly that fact that we do indeed need to "Try Harder To Imagine" a better world and then act on it!! Thanks again for your vote!

Paul, your flattery makes it worthwhile to pick up the brushes! Sometimes we need a little push and your contest was just the ticket. Just a fun piece that I did this last hour. The paint isn't dry yet. Thanks for your support.
