No. 48: Moon Man. The first painting he made, when he started back to work, showed a balloon-like jostle of forty moons--blue, white and violet. He had taken the design from a Kleenex Box.

No. 47: Boom and Bust. Here is the artist, pausing for a moment on the jagged path of the space-time continuum.

No. 46: Leg-Trap. He was fording the river to meet with his shepherdess sweetheart, who went by the name of Pastora. Pastora was horrified to see her artist-swain suddenly caught up in a logjam of measurement and time, but vowed to wait until he had extricated himself--no matter how long it took.

No. 45. Bird-Call. He had spent the week making a large painting he called Greek Motif. It had inflamed him. Then, suddenly unsure of himself, he invited a critic-acquaintance named Clement Flutter to look at the work with him. Flutter was non-committal.

No.44: Monument Valley. He’d been working too hard and needed to get away. He decided to make a weekend journey on his antique tandem bicycle—really a “quint,” originally built for five riders—to visit historic Weasel Park in Napanee, in Eastern Ontario.
