"Parents of all ages will relate to the humour and message in this painting. As a child, I can remember waiting for what seemed like an eternity in anticipation of an exciting event to happen. But in the wink of an eye, I would be lost in another world like my Grandfather's collectibles. Plans to do some serious fishing were temporarily put on hold… even when Dad was 'ready to go'. In this quiet, reflective moment, a child's own curiosity transcended the passage of time."
