The Sky Is Blue But My Blood Is Red is an original Liverpool FC painting by contemporary artist John Charles, inspired by the iconic Shankly Gates at Anfield and the passion of the Merseyside derby.
This Liverpool football artwork captures the famous “You’ll Never Walk Alone” gates in a bold, modern style, set against a striking blue sky, contrasted with the unwavering red identity of Liverpool FC. The piece reflects one of football’s greatest rivalries while celebrating Liverpool’s dominance and history.
A key detail within the painting is the subtle “19” crossed out and replaced with “20”, referencing Liverpool’s 20th league title win. This graffiti-style element adds a contemporary street-art influence while marking a historic achievement for the club.
Painted using acrylic and spray paint on duck cotton canvas, the artwork combines fine detail with expressive textures, making it a standout piece of modern football wall art and Liverpool fan art.
This is a one-of-one original painting, ideal for collectors of Liverpool FC memorabilia, football art collectors, or fans looking for a statement piece inspired by Anfield.
