THE ARTIST IN RESIDENCE


I had this studio..

in the old general hospital..

it was a circular nightingale ward..

in a victorian rotunda..

I had 60 x 96 inch canvases made for me by the hospital carpenters..

I had lots of free oil paint..

I was a dog in a forest..

with a free lunch..


AIN'T NO SUCH THING AS A FREE LUNCH


anyway..

one of the images that emerged..

from this time was..

the quatrefoyle window..

a vision of a promised land..

heaven, nirvana, iowa..
