To the left of it is another piece from the book, another face, which reminded me of Charlie Watts of the Rolling Stones. He looks rather like that. It is really an idea of the tribes being connected by something, the thread or the rod that connects us all." - Sir Paul McCartneyPaul McCartney was inspired to pick up the paintbrush by the old adage 'life begins at forty'. He has been painting regularly for over twenty years - but his relationship with art goes back to his childhood in Liverpool.At school, Paul remembers being fascinated by the contents of the stationery cupboard - plain, blank paper and boxes of pencils that filled his head with dreams.The idea of an empty background as a starting point - be it a white wall or clean canvas - is still a source of inspiration for Paul. He talks about the excitement and challenge of 'killing the canvas' or making the initial mark on the surface. It is interesting to note that the minimalist cover for 'The Beatles' (white album) was conceived by Paul with artist Richard Hamilton."So what I find is that I do it when I am inspired, and that's how I can combine it with music. Some days the inspiration is a musical one and other days it has got to be painting" - Sir Paul McCartneyWhen he was eleven he used a school prize to buy his first modern art book, including works by Dali and Picasso. Then at fourteen he won an art prize for a drawing of St Aidan's Church on the Speke housing estate where he lived. "... a lot of the time all I want to do is apply paint … sometimes just putting on the paint is more interesting than actually thinking what it all means" - Sir Paul McCartney
