What funny moments, unexpected surprises, or obstacles have you encountered?
"January 2010, the holidays behind us I traded my kitchen for my painting studio. No longer able to resist the poetic call of the 8 X 6feet canvas I had prepapare, looking up at the massive white space before me I asked, “What do you want from me?” As is my practice, I looked out the window and loaded my brushes. About five hours later Winter Sky 1 was well underway. At about 14 inches from the bottom of the canvas, an ache in my back awakened me from my reverie. Like “wax on, wax off” in the Karate Kid (1984) of my generation, it took another two and a half weeks of “paint on, paint off” for me to ground the sky and call the painting finished. That painting hangs in the University of New Brunswick Law School."
