Fine Art & Hockey: A Point of View

This is a vignette of the kids sitting on the bench catching their breath in anticipation of the next shift.

Although a “late” period Bruno Bobak it reminds me of some of the equally expressive compositions he was painting 50 years earlier and premature for an accepting Canadian art collecting audience.
