Probably my favorite PM painting, Bowie spewing by Paul McCartney

“This was started off with some drips. As I say, I like to just observe the motion of paint dripping down the canvas. And in experimenting, it was only at the end it struck me that it looked a bit like David Bowie as Ziggy Stardust, in that period, and it looked like I put little Oriental characters round the edge. This lower left one became a little figure, a person with a little head…This one eye is very blue; the eyes are different. I don’t know much about this picture; it just arrived and it amuses me because it looked like David Bowie being sick. Linda had taken a Polaroid once of him backstage somewhere, and this reminds me of that Polaroid.” - Paul McCartney, Paintings
