These words were taken from a love letter written in December 1899, and have survived the years. “Watching and Waiting” for you, was written with a sense of longing and anticipation, in a time before phones, text messages and other forms of digital communication. People would wait for weeks, sometimes years to hear from loved ones.
There are two birds made from handmade paper flying above, but another “ghostly” bird beneath, signifying the passing of time and memories held dear.
I have used a variegated red gold leaf and texture in this painting.
To me it feels like the way we carry the past with us, in the words of Matt Haig, “I don’t know where the past hides, but I will meet you there”
Delicate whites and pastel colors flow and merge with soft grey and warmer earth tones.
Acrylic with foil and collage on canvas
Measures 24” x 30”
