"She's Leaving Home"

"She's Leaving Home" 14" X 11" Collage

I've been seeing a lot of collage work in art shows and festivals lately. I haven't done one since high school, and was, once again inspired by a song "She's Leaving Home" to illustrate, not so much  the lyrics of the song, as the story behind it. 
According to legend, Paul McCartney was inspired by a newspaper article about a "well to do" runaway teen that left behind "everything money could buy" and he went on to write "She's Leaving Home" for the "Sgt. Pepper's " album.
Unknowingly, years before, he had met the future runaway, Melanie Coe, when she performed in a lip syncing competition  on the TV show "Ready, Steady, Go!". (He judged the competition and presented her with a copy of the latest Beatles album when she won).
The song stands on it's own merits, but the story behind it is pretty interesting.
