Dear Prudence

Dear Prudence | 11" x 14" | Acrylic and Ink
I did some portraits initially (right). I liked how they turned out and straight up portraits are nice but I wanted to explore the theme a bit deeper.
I decided instead to do a song-interpretation. Of the many amazing songs the Beatles have written and I considered like I Want You (She's So Heavy) and Helter Skelter, I chose Dear Prudence which is one of my all-time favorites.
I wanted to make the finished art visually abstract and sparce to coincide with the mood I get from the song along with visual homage to the White Album and a little bit of 60's psychedelia.
Prudence shyly contemplating Lennon's call to 'greet the brand new day'.
