On the Road, 1970

Painted a couple of days ago – acrylic on 16″ x 12″ canvas board. I have a vague memory of my father painting this same scene 50 years ago. I guess he thought it was picturesque, too.

We scramble up to the top of Mt Temple and wrote our names on a slip of paper that we found inside a small metal box jammed under a rock. I took a few pictures and we left in a hurry as there was a big dark cloud coming our way.

Meet You in St Louis

St Louis Square, Montreal, from a photo taken in October 2000. St Louis was a common name for places in Quebec; I once lived on St Louis Street, near Lake St Louis. King Louis IX was a pious and relatively enlightened King of France who abolished trial by ordeal, expanded the Inquisition, and persecuted Jews, thus making himself eligible for sainthood. A model Christian king.
