Artist Statement (include type of art, techniques & materials used, what it means to you)“Waiting for the Results” is a portrait of my husband right after undergoing brain surgery in July of 2021. A benign mass “the size of a peach” was resected; thankfully, he has fully recovered. It is a powerful reminder of the fragility of health and a constant inspiration to be thankful.
The picture was painted in oil on linen panel, following academic painting techniques.
Artist Bio: Tell Us Your StoryI am a 70-year-old retiree who has found a new purpose in life painting oil portraits and landscapes.
