The most interesting aspects of this painting to me are the mirrored images, and how the rich, late afternoon sunlight makes their flesh tones literally glow. I also like to emphasize the negative spaces as well as the positive by cropping the whole image close to the subjects.

Your work is incredible!

Mr. Sierak, I have been inspired by your art for some ten years, now. You continue to produce fresh introspective paintings that speak to the humanity to all that take the time to SEE. You still inspire me, sir.
