Old movie: still in black and white. It’s interesting one’s looking throug rain on a window or reflections.

ouch! Context will help (I hope) - I changed the tagline to indicate it's supposed to have been taken from a (cheap) surveillance camera.

I guess I didn’t watch enough crime shows.

That is just about how clear many of their photos are. I like it.

It's mysterious and ominous, both in your palette and the subject. Eek! Great job, Bongo - I'm unnerved just looking at it. Well done!

"Have you seen these men?"

Only if they were behind a shower curtain---

Nice work- really good in your application of horizontal strokes

They sure look shifty to me! I like the mysterious quality and am amazed at how we see these shapes and think “human” with so little detail.

Excellent piece, technique, and color use. I got what it was right away. Really really cool painting, Bongo.
