This painting was completed in 1981, the year before Tony sustained severe head injuries in a motorcycle accident that left him with a twenty-five-year memory loss, a partial disability, and a mental age of about seventeen, at a time when he was biologically forty-one years of age.  It could possibly be one of the last painting he made before the accident.
