I wanted to do something different from my other works.

This is acrylics on canvas (40 inches large). Nothing else.

Yes I know, it's cold ...

it would be nice if you maybe posted a little bit about why you did certain things.like the dotted line, the asterick, the painterly strokes at the top, your text treatment, etc. i'm curious.

Interesting picture. But, if you were trying to make some kind of statement with it (guessing by the title) the message didn't get through.

I love subtlety, but go too subtle and you'll end up having to answer a lot of questions (and most of them will sound like stupid questions). Just an opinion, far be it from me (or anyone else) to tell an artist how to create.

Well turned upside down the "painterly strokes" at the top look like a skyline while the two people in red are terriorists/symbols of the twin towers?
