Another blast from the past....

Here's another blast from the past. We had seen an exhibition of Jack Shadbolt's work at the Bau Xi Gallery in Toronto, and Mr. Shadbolt was really on his game and the show was fantastic. Tuffy P. wrote a letter to Mr. Shadbolt and suggested lunch next time he was in town. He responded affirmatively, and so when he came to town, a number of us took him out for lunch to some place around Bloor and Bathurst. After lunch, Mr. Shadbolt ordered a martini and started telling incredible stories of his adventures in the art world. It was an amazing day.
