Very interesting work. At first glance there seems to be a lack of complexity and maybe a restricted palette, but I love the way the use of the bold dramatic colors draws the eye to the negative spaces, before settling on the loosely stylized figures. The figures are remarkably expressive, especially the faces that seem out of focus, but the mood seems to be set more by the background color and negative spaces.
Is there a link to the aforementioned 'deer hunter' series?

Glenn -thanks for the kind words...people should understand that with the exception of 'Devil Sweet Taling Fly On The Wall' -the first painting on this blog, these are all my smaller scale paintings -96' -to about 144" dimensions -devil is 9X18'.......I make alot of different kinds of paintings -from minimal and completely abstract -to very gestural figurative works....these here are but one genre for me
thankyou both for the kind words-
