This piece is as finished as the Beatles were........left us as a group way too soon and so did two of its members. Missed much. You nailed the likeness, especially the eyes. George always did have "for the ladies" eyes.

Hi Chris. I would "Let It Be." I have a unfinished piece of John Lennon that I never had the heart to finish. Fantastic work my friend.--Denny

Artist Reply: So Denny will we get to see this Lennon? I would love to see what you did there...

Other than the missing tuning pegs,I think it's otherwise perfect just as it is-great portrait, charcoal very effective , doesn't need a background. Excellent work!

I've seen what you can do with a background... so I say go for it. The portraits look great, though. I like the younger one especially. There's something of your style somehow that I sometimes suspect adds intensity of expression where there is none. Very natural and convincing, though. Not weird. I like it.
