About The Artwork

With lyrics co-written by Lennon and McCartney and music mostly by McCartney, the idea for Getting Better came from a favorite phrase of Jimmie Nicol, The Beatles' stand-in drummer for eight days of their 1964 world tour. According to Beatles biographer Hunter Davies, the phrase popped into McCartney's head one day in 1967 while he was walking his sheepdog Martha in Hampstead. Getting Better I wrote on my magic Binder, Edwards and Vaughan piano in my music room. It had a lovely tone, that piano, you'd just open the lid and there was such a magic tone, almost out of tune, and of course the way it was painted added to the fun of it all. It's an optimistic song. I often try and get on to optimistic subjects in an effort to cheer myself up and also, realising that other people are going to hear this, to cheer them up too. And this was one of those. The 'angry young man' and all that was John and I filling in the verses about schoolteachers. We shared a lot of feelings against teachers who had punished you too much or who hadn't understood you or who had just been bastard generally. Paul McCartney Many Years From Now, Barry Miles

Jonathan Morrill is a Hollywood-based artist. Jonathan Morrill creates artwork that is merely a potpourri of what God, motion pictures, and Mother Nature have already produced. Newmarket, New Hampshire, Provincetown, Massachusetts, Saint Petersburg, Florida, and Hollywood, California, are the four major locations where Jonathan Morrill has studied and honed his illustrative abilities. His acrylic works of many a tinsel-town icon have graced the walls of La-La Land's great haunts, including Hollywood Forever Cemetery and The Hollywood Wax Museum. His Hollywood Icon portraits are exhibited at Creature Features Gallery in Burbank, The Carter-Sexton Gallery in North Hollywood, The Art Parlor in North Hollywood, Crafted in the Port of Los Angeles, The Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, Orland International Airport, The Tonga Hut Tiki Bar in North Hollywood, and Crackskulls Coffee and Books, in Newmarket, New Hampshire. From childhood memories to celluloid dreams, from monsters and Mai Tais to cryptozoology, from forgotten time chords in dusty places to unknown realms hiding in space, Jonathan Morrill creates work born out of intense concentration and effortless thoughtlessness. These works are threaded and infused with colors that change upon the luminance they're given, which make them appear different to every eye.. Contemporaries, instructors, teachers, and collaborators include Yvonne Anderson, Ray Nolin, Jack Barrett, Gregory Gillespie,Harvey Dodd, Lance Rodgers, Frank Dietz, Jonathan Blum, Lee Musselman, Eric October, Robert Gasoi, Paul Gasoi, Steph Gorkii, and Gary Wortzel.
