Beatle news briefs: Painting of historic moment will hang where it happened

Eric Cash, whose portrait "The Introduction" features a representation of the moment when Paul McCartney and John Lennon first met and is displayed in the room in St. Peter's Church in Liverpool where it actually took place, has unveiled another new Beatles portrait called "Summer Tour '66."
 "It depicts John and Paul on vocals together, during their shortened and final tour. Through all the madness the Beatles endured on that tour, they still acted as professionals and delivered the goods," he wrote in his description of the painting.
"The times John and Paul sang together in harmony, is some of the best moments on any Beatles record, in my humble opinion. When you see them together like this, you are seeing the origins of the group, the two of them playing and singing to each other, like when they were kids in Paul's house after school."

He says the original is oil on canvas in the dimensions 36 x 24. He will be offering reproductions in the original size and also at 28 x 18 on his website http://www.ericcashillustration.com.
He also says he plans to be at the Fest For Beatles Fans in Chicago in August.
