Great expression, terrific painting.

Um. What is this supposed to represent? It's ambiguous - an assault upon a debt-collector? A debt claimed via a violent encounter? There are elements of this that I don't understand; and if I did understand them, I'm not at all sure I'd much appreciate them.

I like it's ambiguity, for me it says everything about the times we live in, good one David

Many thanks Heather and Andrew for your positive comments. Thankyou Heather you seem to have interpreted the ambiguity as I hope . Sadly these are the times we live in.

It’s a shame that for some violence is the resort they turn to rather then trying to help ways for the debtors to repay. A thought provoking painting.

David - my comment on this piece was very stupid, and I apologize to you for it: for reasons I won't trouble you with, it triggered me, obviously rather badly. If I could remove my comment I would - it was ridiculous and you deserved far better.
