 This painting won a Federation of Canadian Artists' Grand Prize in Fall 2003.

"The location is an artist's studio in a small village in the hills above Florence, Italy.
The figure in the painting (who was never there) is the well-known poet, Rishma
Dunlop, who graciously posed for this combination composition. I played the
quiet contrast of the more representational figure against the stylized and cluttered
confusion of the interior, and allowed myself to be more aggressive with colour
and technique than my usual approach."
