Just as it wasn’t hard to find her husband’s work around the city, it wasn’t hard to find internationally acclaimed painter/ muralist R. York Wilson’s widow, Lela M. Wilson, back in 2003. I simply flipped to the correct page in the phone book. However, Ms. Wilson, then 92 years old, thought I was trying to sell her a Globe and Mail subscription, so she tried, politely, to end the conversation; luckily, I managed to convince her of my interest in her husband, who had passed away 19 years before, and the home they had built together on the northern edge of Wychwood Park in 1955.
