When I’m 64

This was done as a take on the Beatles song “When I’m 64” as I was inspired by what looked like two elderly people in the photograph (below) that gave me the inspiration to paint this work. The other faces depicting masks they may have worn as younger people.

You can view progression shots of this and other paintings I have been doing for my solo exhibiton here

I can hear the song playing in my head as I look at this. I think it needs a drum beat as well (hint hint) ... :)
