Thank You For The Days (pencil rough)



My new offering is made in light of the massive effect "Sunny Afternoon" has had on me. My reinvigorated love of The Kinks has led me to create a caricature portrait of the Davies brothers,this is the pencil rough. The two (in younger incarnations) are fighting amid a tattered Union Jack whilst their older selves look on in wry amusement. That the older Ray stands behind the younger Dave, and vice versa, is a comment on the perspective of age...or not, as the case may be.
My daughter Grace has tickets for she and I to see Ray live, in August, and I cannot wait. His legendary prowess with both word and melody will transport me...I'm sure. Hopefully a reunion of the remaining band members won't be too far away.

Guys, thank YOU for the days.

Excelsior out!
