"Lady Waiting"
Soft Pastel
2025

"Lady Waiting" is pastel on paper. A striking woman in an elegant pink sheer dress stands at the foot of a grand granite staircase, the delicate fabric cascading around her like a blooming rose. Her gloved hands rest gently at her breast as she regards the sheepish gentleman before her.

The man, dressed in tailored evening wear, seems to emit an air of nervous apology. His slightly bowed head and hesitant smile suggest a plea for forgiveness, though there is a spark of well-worn familiarity between the pair. A sweeping staircase rises in polished stone steps, their cool gray tones contrasting with the warmth of the couple’s silent exchange.

This is a moment of quiet storytelling—where love and irritation collide in the unspoken language of long companionship.
