Bye bye Blackbird

Had quite a time with this work. Sometimes it is a struggle when you bring different references to one picture. The sky, the blackbird and the hedgerow are all separate references and quite difficult to bring together to make a believable work.

This work was for a very lovely person who is mad about the Beatles. She first asked me to do a picture 18 months ago and to my shame, it was only on the cusp of her departure from the agency that I finally got on with it. Now it has a good home and that’s all that matters.
