Eleanor Rigby

Oil on board
6x6
My dad had an orange Datsun 240Z sports car when I was 5. It had this really cool 8-track tape player. It felt like he only played two cassettes: the Beatles and Neil Diamond.

I can close my eyes and remember the smell of the car, the fast shifting of the gears, and the sound coming from the stereo, "Eleanor Rigby
picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been
lives in a dream"
