The first one is striking in the illumination of the hollow places left by loss. that’s what i see. its a brooding floating piece the second is a beautiful bouquet maybe at a roadside setting, but there is sadness and upset and disturbances in the mix. Always happy to see new work Russ. Old work too! Reply
Thank you, Jonathan. Some of both–old and new. The second is a revision of an earlier canvas, but now more emphatic, with greater intention. Reply
