Adam Davis

​

The name is taken from the poem by the American educator and poet William Hughes Mearns.

​

It was inspired by my time at university studying Fine Art and a lecturer who never actually turned up for lectures. The name and words seemed very appropriate to me

​​

Antigonish [I met a man who wasn't there]

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...

If you have any questions about the painting or you wish to buy it please drop me a line. Thank you
