Waiting Room

Between August 2021 and February 2022, I spent a lot of time in waiting rooms of all kinds of eye doctor offices, but mostly at the hospital, for treatment of my eye problems. So, you can see from where I got the inspiration to do this painting.

Acrylics and acrylic markers, 20 x 16, January 2022.

      Thank you. I’m sorry it speaks to personal experience, though. I’m hoping to make many fewer visits in 2022 all right and I hope the same for you. I did get lots of observations time in , though!

    I spend a lot of time in waiting rooms too and immediately recognised this scene. I especially like the organized rows of waiting people and that fish tank in the corner. The people are just like the fish in the tank really.

      Thank you. Yes, I thought the same thing, about the fish and people. How the two groups behave I think are very much the same- the stillness, then the darting, In and out, groups breaking and combining. Fascinating.

      Thank you. I am a little surprised it turned out this cheerful, as my waiting room experiences recently have not been, but…maybe my intuition knew things my brain didn’t. I do enjoy depicting people no matter where they are.
