The Chance, 2017 Painting 25cmx25cm £30 But I, I am a crazy old man, alone with his books and his beer and his dog. I have been a clerk, a pedlar and a seller of cars. I have been ignorant and scholar of note. Pock-marked and ugly I have wandered the streets and slept in parks. I have been bankrupt and handsome and a splendid con man. I have been a river of poisonous silver mercury, without form or substance, yet I carry with me this one pain, this one yearning, that I love you my lady with all my heart. And on evenings when the water is calm and the birds dive amongst the whitebait, my eyes swell with tears as I think of you sitting on a chair beside me, weeping in a darkened room. (Peter Carey - The Fat Man in History) Lise MacDermott
