T|here will always be audience participation.  This was a postcard promoting his 2004 tour  based on John's visit to Nice in 2001 to paint a scene originally depicted by his French father, Rene, in 1931. "In the show he muses upon the trip, painting generally, throat sweets and blancmange".  A book was published also called The Sound of Paint Drying with poems, sketches, songs, stories and diary entries.

That raccoon is much cuter than the ones in my neighbourhood. Love the rosy cheeks of the second.
