True Story Painting

This painting evolved from pictures I did for Melissa McClelland's album "Thumbelina's One Night Stand." It's a record of, and a tribute to, a place and time that doesn't exist anymore. Ashtrays, not cellphones. One night somewhere around the turn of the century I was sitting by the front window of the Inter-Steer, a Polish bar on Roncesvalles, nursing a Zywiec. Over my friend's shoulder I saw a dark shape low down on the sidewalk outside. It was a Beaver. A full grown Beaver. I declared this to the bar - to blank stares. “There's a huge Beaver on Roncesvalles!” What do you say? None of the appropriate animal institutions would deal with our Beaver as it wasn't injured... yet. I followed it all the way out towards Dundas and wished him/her farewell. True story.
