Description: This piece employs a technique using “the smoke” method pioneered by Earl. This work of a roots music band is devoid of facial features, a metaphor for emotions – coldness, naivete, greed and anonymity. The painting invokes strong emotions of expressive pain and joy intermingled in a single thread. It serves as the center piece of the collection.
