Wow! I like his loose brush strokes very much.

After viewing his other paintings, it doesn't appear that his brush work was as loose.

Thanks for the introduction. Definitely a little Hieronymus Bosch going on there. Although it makes me think too of a dark Cabaret.

This work is new to me as well.

I am very conflicted with his art. I hate it and I love what I hate about it.

It is a reality that is not beautiful yet he presents it with such lovely deliberation we are forced to look at it and accept HIS presentation of the real just the same.
