When I gave up painting in the 70’s, I did so because I thought abstract art was dead. I said “If I ever painted again, it would be pink clouds.” That was an ironic statement. Because now, in my latter years, I’m inspired to paint the pink clouds and natural beauty surrounding us in BC. However, I'm also picking up my original work in a series called ”Parallax.” — John W Lavender
