That iconic piece of art was used by Bruce Cockburn on his Night Visions album.

I had never heard of Colville until now...I have heard of Bruce Cockburn, though. :)

After the context, I especially liked the tribute to Colville too.


I'm guessing that you're the guy with the bike-shaped glasses on? :) (Well, after your last post, I'm not guessing, really.)

Great tribute to Colville! We just saw his "Horse and Train" painting at the Art Gallery of Hamilton when we were there at the beginning of June. What an iconic painting! And as you point out, on an iconic Bruce Cockburn album as well (one of my faves too)!

My Back Pages - November

I know, I know, I know I should have reported in before now. But sometimes real life just gets in the way. I attempted 5 books in November.

The Polka Dot Door

A long time ago, when I was 22, my first child was born.  That kid grew up on a little Canadian kid's show called Polka Dot Door, produced by the TV Ontario network.  And Dad, more often than not, sat through those shows with his little one.
