It has been raining constantly and heavy. That happens once in a while here in Belgium. Sometimes it leads to flooding field and houses. This happened to our house in Hoboken, in autumn 1998. (He had to go in the house and safe our two Brussels Griffons who were on top of a floating armchair). Being hypersensitive, the weather and events around influenced Tony. His images and subjects where always in one way or another connected to his life. They also were a bid for immortality. Under my reign is one of such paintings. Of course he always allows in his canvasses for an escape, a resting place. We talked long whether it had to be 'Under my rain' or not... By the way, there is a double portrait in here of Tony and myself, hidden in the masses.
