Once when he had just completed a still life, Professor Liao entered the studio looking for canvas to begin painting. Unable to find anything suitable, he used the reverse side of Kuo ’ s finished still life to paint an autumn vignette of a small street near NTNU.
有回他剛完成一幅靜物，廖繼春也正好進畫室，一時找不到畫布，就利用他作畫的三夾板背面，畫了一幅〈師大秋天小路〉。
