Waiting Alone

Judith Reidy — Wed, 15 Nov 2023 21:41:25 +0000

We were in Morocco, a place where women often remain covered. My daughter and I were traveling home one evening. Across the tracks, we saw the silhouette of a woman with luggage, sitting alone in the dark. Why was she alone? Was she leaving or returning? The shadows cloaked her in mystery, highlighting the uncertainty and vulnerability women often endure in this region.

Waiting Alone won "Best of Show" at the Rogues Show Darkness in October 2024 in the Attic at the David Barnett Gallery. Theses were the comments of jurist, Evelyn Terry. " First handled well as a realistic painting in blue tones, Waiting Alone's figure to ground relationship creates an easily believable scene but a sad scene. A forlorn well-clothed person exist in the darker side of a brightly lit exit of a building, possibly forced to leave and go to what ...somewhere?" Framed Size: 32"h X 42" w Media: Acrylic
