Portrait of Jon Anderson (See Press/Media)
The Inspiration:
(freehand and painted in oil pastels)
Jon Anderson(lead singer with Yes) is a musician I connect with musically and lyrically.
His tunes are uplifting and his lyrics are cosmic and have a strong sense of beauty and morality.
One of my heroes.

Oil painting of Jon Anderson © Kevin Alun Parrish as appears in “Babysitting A Band On The Rocks” (available online at LTCDS.com) In writing a memoir of adolescent classic rock fandom that quickly led to a professional career presenting iconic performers in concert, I discovered Kevin Alun Parrish.
Kevin has been a huge Yes fan since the early 1970s (and he requested that I tell you that he is also follower of Jon’s Philosophies). Visit Kevin’s website to view his Yes Art Page, inspired by the band’s music. At the time of my book writing his original oil painting of Jon Anderson was available for sale. +44 (0) 1926 332708 / kevinparrish.co.uk / parrish@quicknetuk.com
