It was mid-afternoon when I arrived. The oppressive heat was at its height as I stood before the building that would become my home for a few years. I stepped back off the curb to gain a better view of it after checking the quiet street for possible oncoming traffic. Before knocking on the door to make my presence known, I wanted to view its facade. If memory serves, it was fifty-eight years ago, the end of August 1936, and I was about to enter a new world that would shape my future, if my dreams of becoming a painter were to be realized.
There was an emptiness in the street, a sense that all life had fled to seek possible coolness elsewhere, for no breeze, or sound of radios, or voices, or music disturbed the heat waves I felt rising from the pavement. As I first viewed this three-story, cherry red, English bond, brick structure, its patina gave evidence of its age. Later I learned that it was built during the turn of the century. It was not unlike several others on the street. No sign was visible to state that it was the Artist Community House, a boardinghouse.
I first learned that such a place existed after signing up to become a student at the Chicago Art Institute. When asked for a home address and where I was going to rest my head that night, I had no answer. The lady in charge of admissions was slender and bright eyed with a welcoming smile that showed a genuine warmth. She suggested I try the Artist Community House and talk to a Malcolm Hackett. She scribbled a number and address and advised me to call before going to be sure that a room was

available. She suggested that it might be difficult to be accepted, but somehow she felt I would qualify, if there were space available. Coming in at the last moment had not been a very smart move.
When I left San Antonio earlier that year to spend the summer in the village of Cary, Illinois, I had no thought of going to art school or any other school. Jobs were scarce as hen's teeth, but such problems, for some reason, didn't concern me. The one thing I knew was that I was going to be a painter. This, I never questioned. At age ten, after making my first lines with charcoal on the surface of a pad of newsprint paper, I discovered enough magic to fill a lifetime. Seeing images come into being because I willed them did the trick. Later, on my fourteenth birthday, when a box of oil paints was placed into my hands, I truly discovered color. I knew the world was mine. All fear of the future vanished, for my muse held out its hand.
