About this artwork
An original watercolour picture in portrait format, on Windsor & Newton Cotman NOT paper, 140lbs.
I was inspired to do this painting after seeing an artwork on Singulart, a few weeks ago. The painting was of a man sitiing in a victorian legged bath tub, in the middle of nowhere. It was titled "Waiting" and it appealed to my sense of humour.
The subject of this picture is in a bed and he is waiting for his partner to join him. He looks annoyed, but… maybe ....just maybe, the long wait has been rewarded. However he is not a good looker, so maybe that is the reason. A security light casts a shadow on the back wall, someone or something has arrived.

I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
