Free as Trailer Park Boys

The Canadian TV series "Trailer Park Boys" (s04e07) shows park supervisor Mr. Lahey and his 'assistant' Randy discussing trailerpark-supervisor issues in front of a painting depicting a bunch of wild horses. That picture is named 'Free as the Wind', by Auguste Albo.

We have that exact same picture. It's hanging in the 'booth' in our kitchen.

Yes, I know it's hideous.

I was in San Francisco November 18, 2010 for the screening of an independent film called Bold Native. Arriving early, I visited some shops near the theater. In a Goodwill across the street, I was stunned to see a large framed painting that had graced our living room wall in the house I grew up in, the above-mentioned Free as the Wind by August Albo. I hadn't thought of it in years. Later that evening, about four minutes into the film, I was flabbergasted to see the same painting on the apartment wall of the main character!

Awesome! I will check out that movie (if possible). Also, I wonder if there's more movies that feature this fabulous painting
