The title was inspired by the old movie Flying High, a comedy parodying the disaster film genre. During a tense landing the air traffic control boss declares at various stages 'looks like I picked the wrong week to quit smoking’, ‘looks like I picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue’ and other similar statements and it struck me when I was painting this during lockdown that that's how the year unfolded with disaster after disaster hitting us.
