The Waiting Game Painting

This painting is smooth in texture with painted sides. I painted this in December 2020 feeling increasingly isolated in the first winter of the pandemic from my apartment on Boka Bay in Montenegro. Looking for inspiration, I was struck by the elegant way the Balkan women surrounding me maintained their grace while facing another dark, unknown future. Cigarettes were de rigueur, as was a fashionable approach to going nowhere. They had already outlasted war and sanctions from the previous generation, and their calm approach to "The Waiting Game" gave me a feeling of acceptance amid suspension... while at the same time helping to examine my habits and consumption. It is my hope that viewers will be reminded of a similar quiet disquiet when facing life's uncertainties and how choices and habits frame our character. Sometimes though, it's whatever gets us through the moment.
