Here is Robin R. with whom Tony did a lot of busking, seen here playing his latest songs in front of Tony's painting L'Homme Révolté. This painting shows the gray skies of Flanders, the sky over the polders with just a touch of yellow sunlight. This is how light and surrounding would influence his paintings. The couple is dancing in the face of fate, exuding tenderness and strength. in places the paint is thin and translucent, but the gray sky is thick and solid. He painted this piece in 1996 in Hoboken, probably after some rather wet walks with the dogs in the polder near the Scheldt. Listening with an approving and knowledgeable ear is Spookie.
