Waiting for my Table

Waiting for my Table is an original acrylic painting on an 18" x 24" canvas — a portrait of a woman at a bar, alone, entirely at ease, and completely in command of the room. She sits at a dark bar top, one hand raised to hold a stemmed glass of deep red wine, the other resting lightly beside a single long-stemmed red rose laid on the counter — a detail so precisely placed it could be a gift received or one she brought herself. Her dress is a bold black and white checker pattern, graphic and confident, its geometry wrapping her figure with the kind of commitment that announces an aesthetic. Her hat is enormous — a wide, round black and white checker brim that sweeps over her entire face, concealing her eyes completely. Only her red lips show beneath the brim, full and certain, her nails painted to match. She does not need to see you to know you are looking. The background is a loose wash of pale blue, grey, and lavender — atmospheric and soft behind all that graphic black and white. Pure paint, pure patience, pure presence. A one-of-a-kind original by Branka, created once and never again.
