The story behind this painting is that I took my wife, Ann, to Billings, Montana, to catch a plane early in the morning. We spent the night there as we often do since it's a three hour drive. The flight was so early that I was 20 miles down the interstate by the time the sun rose, giving me reason to pull over and fish for my camera among the pile of warm clothes on the passenger seat. A flock of south-bound Canada geese give the painting a nice double-entendre.
