The Pain of Waiting

[JennieJo]

Another rellie one! This one a little sad.

Painted in response to a relative hoping for the best, but fearing the worst.
Acrylic, on 125 X 75 cm canvas.

There is a lot i like in this and an equal amount i don't understand.

Superb

Love this, there's a very clear narrative. Really like the way it's painted too.

 

[Terri]

Lovely, and yes a little haunting! Definitely a story here. Nicely done, Jennie!

 

[Donna T]

I like the way you use loose washes of acrylic. The person turned away from us seems to suggest that there is stress to be dealt with.

Thanks Dave, you've nailed how I felt as I painted it

Thanks Kay. Especially your comment about the 'how'. It's a style I'm trying to develop. This is my 5th large piece. I like painting in the style, just not sure ...

Thanks Donna. I was hoping to convey the stresses of dealing with pain. Even with support, you are the only one who can deal with it.

Yes, LOVE the narrative and the different patterns (floor, wall, window, etc.) Great one!

 

[CaliAnn]

A subtly, power piece. You always invoke such a strong emotional response in me. Brilliant!

Really interesting. I like the kind of uncertainty it has

Thanks Flowercat. It was quite hard not to add more opaque layers, but I like the mystery I feel/hope it has.
