Fisherman and Boat got me in trouble with my friend Jim Moon. I had taken his idea, the pink rock and the boat, and organized it according to my approach. I thought I was honoring him, but he was angry. He said 'You made something monumental out of my picture'. It was a complement, but he didn't like the idea; he said someone had been copying a whole group of his images. I told him I had my own ideas, and he had nothing to worry about. Both of my 'boat' paintings bare little relationship to Jim's, but this one is closer than my 'Shipwrecks'. Anyway, I loved Jim and miss him now.
