Two characters, five legs. This acrylic on canvas (15-3/4" x 20", late 1990s) almost made it into our forthcoming book, but was edged out by a plethora of prominent works. Flora produced some interesting, mystifying paintings in his final decade (after, by his own admission, "painting myself out of boats" in the late 1980s). Above is a low-grade snapshot corrected in Photoshop; the recently discovered work has not yet been professionally documented.A postulant is someone who submits a request or applies for admission, especially into a religious order. Errant means straying, deviating from a proper course, or roving adventurously. Like, y'know, Julie Andrews.
UPDATE (10 May 09): The work was professionally photographed last week and is now slated for reproduction as a fine art print later this year.

wow - this is really great! I had no idea.
This piece is AWESOME! When does the forthcoming book go public?
The book is on track for AUG or SEPT publication. Meanwhile, Barb and I have decided to issue Errant Postulant as a fine art print later this year. It is scheduled to be professionally photographed next week, and working with the digital file, Barb will produce a limited edition print. The dimensions of the original work can probably be retained on a 17" x 22" sheet. We'll post on the blog and website when the print is available.
