Waiting In The Wings (2012)



Oil on canvas, 16" x 20"

This painting is from a photo taken of me when I was performing in a play, backstage and waiting for my cue to enter.  I liked the intense contrast between light and dark, a modern take on chiaroscuro which a lot of people associate with Edward Hopper.  This piece received the 3rd Award of Excellence in Oils at the Nepean Fine Arts League Annual Members' Exhibition.
