My painting titled, Past 0ld Friends R Better n d Left, was originally installed in the 6th floor waiting-room at the Women and Infants Hospital in Providence, Rhode Island, on the day my wife was being released from the birth of our second baby boy.

Recently she went to visit a dear friend of hers who just gave birth to her own son. My wife remembered the painting I had placed and was curious if it was still there. Her photograph documents the artwork’s installation as lasting an impressive eight months. Wow! It’s hard to believe it’s still there. I say it’s staying forever.
