Nonchalantly Walking the Dog

 1989       29.5 x 40.5"     75 x 103 cm       Acrylic on Canvas

My first studio was in downtown Saint John, I use to walk home every day across an overpass. In the winter I was often walking home just as the sun was setting over a pulp mill. Because of all the particulate matter in the air, the sunsets were really quite vibrant and beautiful. I can remember as a small child some of the grownups saying, "That's the smell of money."
