About Waiting

This romantic portrait of a young woman is by Canadian artist Mel Davis.
The Canadian artist has developed a unique visual style that is reminiscent of the French masters of the last century. The young woman’s hair is styled in a loose chignon and her bare neck is framed by her dress.
She’s looking out towards a shadowy landscape. The soft, muted colours—gray, black, and brown enhance the old-world feel of this piece.

“(I want to) respect the tradition of painting, to be in close proximity to nature, specifically light, (create) a sense of both mystery and revelation, accuracy and spontaneity.” Mel Davis

Mel Davis was born in Montreal and graduated from Concordia University with a BFA in 1998.

Her work has won numerous awards including the Conseil des Arts et Lettres du Québec, The Canada Council for the Arts, and the Pollock Krasner Foundation Award. Davis’s work has been shown in both solo and group shows in Canada and the U.S.
