Inspired by the Beatles, this piece is described as “happiness and patterns for George Harrision.” Layers of colorful acrylics and airbrushing techniques combine to form the figurative presence of the classic Madonna and child in a cool coral, with featured members of the Beatles. On the left there is a column of large faces in yellow, blue, and black. Smaller face shapes in red, white and yellow continue down. Below the Madonna figure there are dark small circles in muted navy, red, black, and orange.
