Stroke of Luck

Untitled (acrylic on canvas)                    Tommy McHugh

Tommy McHugh was by all accounts a minor criminal until the day he suffered a double stroke, at age 51. Then things changed. "I could taste the femininity inside of myself," he explains. "My head was full of rhymes and images and pictures." Also of the numbers 3, 6, and 9: http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn23523-mindscapes-stroke-turned-excon-into-rhyming-painter.html
   (P.S., What I don't quite understand is that Tommy McHugh died, as noted at the end of the article, in September. That's quite a lead time!)
