JOHN LENNON PORTRAIT


The newest painting created by David Lloyd Glover is "John, in Hamburg". This was inspired by a B&W photo by his friend Astrid in the early 60's. Probably thr first image of John with a Beatle cut.

The original oil on canvas is 22" x 28". It was shown in the past few weeks at the Art Brillant Gallery Rodeo Drive. It was sold a few days ago but you can enjoy this monochrome painting study right here.

Note that Glover has been using a new flat toned concept on recent paintings. Look closely at this and you will see that it is not photographic detail but very graphic flat cutout tonal areas. Closeup viewing looks very different than seeing it as a whole image from a distance. Lennon's image begins to appear and then come into sharp focus. THIS PAINTING IS SOLD!

More images are on display at the Rodeo Drive Gallery in Beverly Hills
