And a seriously cute one. Leslie, sit down before you click on this!
Thanks for preparing me! Know what you're talking about!
Baby Mary is so cute in this, but Paul is like-- a Precious Moments figurine with lots of hair! (Just take a sharpie and make a beard on figurine below... they could add that as part of their Precious Moments Rooftop collection )

Only Paul could make smoking a cigarette look sexy to me!

From the same photoshoot by Jean-Marie Perier (not sure if Mar. 1965 or April 1966 -anybody know for sure?)

More from same photoshoot: (The indoors ones are inside the Asher home)

I don't know for sure but I think the 'chair' photo dates from 1966. Paul seems to have that gash in his top lip still visable although it might be a blemish on the actual photo !!
The 'leaves' photo might be from the Autumn of 1964, around the time the Beatles For Sale cover photos were taken.

I think the chair photo and the leaves photo as well as the one of him smoking are dated 1965, and were taken around the same time, during photoshoots at the Asher home, at the time Paul lived there. There's a video on YouTube that's put all the Asher photoshoot photos together.

Good catch!
All I know for sure is all the photos were taken by the same person.

Thank you for the link. The very first photo (Paul laying on the bench) suggests Autumn 1965 although I haven't been able to find a specific date. He certainly doesn't look very warm so its probably late October time.

OMG, thanks for finding that! ️

Yeah, in the BFS cover, his hair is shorter and he has a black tie and scarf on, so I think the “leaves” photo was taken in 1965, maybe a year later.
-
Lord, now in this one his lip looks scarred, so who knows what year these are! I give up.

This is a painting of that other photo I posted, in the style of Shannon MacDonald, but it’s not by her. Can’t read the signature of the artist. Shannon did all the paintings in the Hard Day’s Night hotel and she paints the BeatleWeek t-shirts as well.

I want to be Martha!

May 24, 1965. He sure looks tired!

Really love Shannon's artwork, it's some of the best of Paul (and the Beatles!) that I've seen. Very true to life, the next best thing to a photograph! This artist does very good work too.

... and sad too! Maybe it was one of those times when he and Jane temporarily broke up... Seemed like there were repeated breakups and attempts to work it out until 1968. When he met Linda, he knew she was "the one" and it was meant to be.
Or... it could have just been a long night, and he didn't have time to sleep or shave before going to the studio...
Still always looks cute though!
