MIDDLEBURY — Cormac O’Leary has been confined to the Middlebury police headquarters for around a week now.

Fortunately, the confinement has been voluntary, not to mention extremely productive. O’Leary is a visiting artist from Ireland who has been using the space and seclusion of the Middlebury Police Department’s conference room to complete his painting of a Troy, N.Y., portion of the Erie Canal.
