Two fields of focus

Here's a new painting I did recently... a fun experiment with two fields of focus.

It's got a flat kind of abstrack Alex Katz thing going on in the front with a flatness that plays against the depth of the background colors.

I can see adding figures at some point... maybe taking it in a slight poetic narrative direction or something. Anyhow, I was quite pleased with how it came out.

One of my biggest influnces is April Gornik... who's paintings are just amazing.
