Waiting — National Juried Exhibition Selection [Michael Williams, MFA Vetted]

$480.00

Some paintings ask questions they never answer. This is one of them.

"Waiting" is an original oil painting on pine, measuring 8x20 inches — a wide, cinematic interior that splits the room and the mood in two. A woman sits in a warm amber light on one side. An empty white chair holds its ground on the other. A door stands between them. Whether it's open or closed is up to you.

What makes this piece unlike any other original oil painting you'll find: the line work is burned directly into the pine board using pyrography before a single brushstroke of paint touches the surface. Fire first, then oil. The result is a depth and texture that you can see in photographs but truly feel in person — the burned lines live underneath the paint, giving the figure and the interior architecture a presence that is completely one of a kind.

This is not a print. This is not a reproduction. This is a single, original work of art that will never be made again.
