Never Forget Your First Love

CHALK IT UP (Crewe) 2017

Keith Fearon is the Liverpool artist who's amazing 'Emma was Warned About Teasing' won the People's Choice award at the last Bold Street pavement art festival (2011). click HERE to see that
Here at Crewe, Keith has chosen to honour the town with his version of a Norman Rockwell painting, 'The Tattooist' (1944), which was one of the many illustrations he produced for the cover of the Saturday Evening Post. The tattooist is adding the sailor's latest girlfriend's name to a crossed-out list of former conquests. Keith has amended this to read a list of favourite railway stations starting and ending with Crewe. It is called 'Never Forget Your First Love'.

 

Emma was warned ........

Liverpool professional artist Keith Fearon paints photoreal and surreal images in oils. He also paints portraits of sports stars. Last year Keith won 1st prize in the freestyle art category at the Bold Street Festival. This year he topped the 'Peoples Choice' poll with an amazing chalk reproduction of his own painting 'Emma was warned about teasing'. (The original is on show in Keith's exhibition at the Corke Art Gallery, Aigburth, Liverpool - you'll have to hurry though, it finishes on Oct 8th.)
