'I always thought I would get into painting, but I got waylaid by rock 'n' roll...' - Chrissie Hynde

I always thought I would get into painting, but I got waylaid by rock 'n' roll... - Chrissie Hynde

Featuring oil paintings by Chrissie Hynde, Adding The Blue presents nearly 200 original artworks for the very first time, accompanied by introductory text and captions in Hynde's own words.

The artworks include a range of styles including self-portraits, figurative and abstract patterns, and still life studies. The introduction and commentary provided by Hynde on her influences and inspiration are characteristically (and refreshingly) self-deprecating, wry, and wise.

Adding The Blue is an unexpected and personal book of paintings that will delight Hynde's fans worldwide and also anyone who is a lover of painting and fine art. Beautifully produced in a large-format, richly illustrated hardback by the world's foremost rock 'n' roll publishers.
