We only kill each other.     – Bugsy Siegel

“Untitled” started out as a portrait of Bugsy Siegel having a bad heir day and wound up as something like an Unknown Soldier of everyday life.

I chose to use putrid colors with names known only to Charon the ferryman, to suggest a cold, lifeless hospital basement room with way too much fluorescent lighting.  Such colors could use the work, so I sometimes oblige them.

But I don’t know —  I may have really painted myself into a coroner this time.
