Billy says: "I made this painting after a visit to Paris.

I  wanted to take my 15 year old son to see the van Gogh's at the museum d'Orsay as he was interested in becoming a painter.  Also I had never visited the Louvre and wanted to look at the Delacroix's there."

Billy says: "I had a serious breakdown when I was 58. I was put on medication but didn't like it so came off and have been trying to use natural remedies. This would have been painted when I was tipping between normal me and desolation me."
