Painting IV Acrylic on Canvas 5x7 feet This painting is the 1st in an ongoing series of 12. Completed in 1992, this piece was the catalyst for starting the entire series. The subject matter was painted from a film negative of two friends at a get together who were no longer friends at the end of the evening. The moment of tension before the argument is represented with the divergent strokes on both figures. To this day they no longer speak.
