The painting depicts a woman who casually throws a coat over her shoulders and runs out onto the balcony because she hears the helicopter carrying her guests approaching. The warm colors convey a joyful and relaxed atmosphere. The scene seems like a snapshot full of excitement and anticipation, as the woman is clearly waiting for her long-awaited friends. The painting was created on a stretched canvas with oil paints, which allowed for the colors to be conveyed particularly well. The dimensions of 80 x 60 x 1.7 cm give the work a certain presence. The inspiration for this painting came from the feeling of joyful anticipation that many people experience. The idea of ​​depicting a scene in which someone is eagerly waiting for something was the starting point for this series. The warm colors and the calm yet tense atmosphere were intended to reflect this feeling of anticipation and expectation. About me: My name is Irina Gauss. I am contemporary German artist living in picturesquely Bavaria. Through my art I try to pass on my view of the world and the beauty of nature to other people. I often paint impressionistic or minimalistic “sun-kissed” people, “sun-drenched” seascapes, and beautiful flowers. At this point I would like to thank all the people who support my art and buy the paintings I paint.
