I
set up my easel in a jardin
ouvrier** in Normandy.
Each gardener has a strawberry patch,
sometimes growing wild
I was called then to continue my roads series
, relating to the so called baby boomer's spleen.
The two paintings bellow are a take from Abbey Road and the
song Strawberry Fields forever.
It was not too difficult,
being in Normandy, to convey a sort of English foggy romantic gloom
Strawberry Fields Forever (Lennon/McCartney) November 1966
Let me take you down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry
Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry
Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding
all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works
out, it doesn't matter much to me.
Let me take you down, 'cause
I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing
to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be
high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all
right, that is I think it's not too bad.
Let me take you down,
'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real and nothing
to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know
I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but
it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.
Let me take you
down, 'cause I'm going to Strawberry Fields.
Nothing is real
and nothing to get hungabout.
Strawberry Fields forever.
