After a tooth extraction, I made this painting of the missing tooth up the top left. The thing in the bottom represents the dentist and his assistant. Actually they did an excellent job and the stubborn thing is gone for good now. As I had the procedure, on the upper floor of a tall building near Greene avenue on Sherbrooke, I looked out onto a great view of Montreal and wondered how I could paint it. Other artists have painted from elevation but they must have had access to rooftops or upper floor apartments. It was a slow week for painting owing to some atrocious weather and a busy first week back to teaching. Another 5 or 6 weeks of it then off to my second sabbatical, minus some wisdom.
