Good Morning! Yesterday I showed you the first part of “The Confidence Man Throws Down the Gauntlet”. Here’s part two. An execution is about to take place. The man on his knees with the gun in his face is glowing faintly, so is the Confidence Man. I wanted to suggest a shared source of power, as if the two men were drawing from the same well. The four paintings in this story arc show a series of midnight raids. The Confidence Man is hunting, but not just the man on his knees. There are others.

You’ll see.

The question is: why is the Confidence Man doing this? Well…stay tuned.
