The painting seems to go out over the old frame with its beat up corners. The painting is hanging for the next few days at the Burley Senior Center. The title is from the introduction to a collection of short stories - Pigeon Feathers - by John Updike, where he asks, "What is the past, after all, but a long dark tunnel out of which a few bright lights shine."
All Heywood's paintings are in a small gallery in Burley, Idaho and can be seen at almost any time by appointment - e-mail the artist at ppgfh@hotmail.com.
