While I have no right to complain about a car that was handed over to my wife and I, a classic '96 Skylark, to say we've experienced a few breakdowns would be a slight under-statement. With the continued support of our Uncle Lenny, and the bailout-pick-ups by Jen's parents, we've managed to keep the Skylark in the family and running - at least for the moment and not so quietly either.
Through these hardships came inspiration. With time to think while stranded and waiting to be picked up, whether it's on the New Jersey Turnpike or in Patterson Park, Baltimore, I've decided to incorporate our beloved Skylark in my newest painting titled, "Help is on the way".
