Ringo Starr, Painting in Help! Scene, 1965

NOTE: This photograph comes from the Raj Prem Collection.

Ringo Starr mixes his paint to prepare for a portrait in a scene from the film Help!.

Ringo actually began painting for real around 1990. "It started in Monte Carlo. Everybody keeps talking about the great light there - and it's true, it's golden. I went into an art shop and bought canvases and lots of paints and a big easel and started slapping the paint on the canvas. I had a lot of fun getting lost in the process."  - Ringo Starr
