Watercolor

“Waiting” captures a quiet moment in the heart of Vienna, where time seems to pause between the rhythmic steps of the horses and the towering stillness of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. I was drawn to the contrast between motion and stillness, the living warmth of the carriage horses set against the cathedral’s centuries-old stone. In watercolor, these tensions soften: the monumental becomes intimate; the everyday becomes contemplative. This piece reflects the feeling of lingering in a historic place—not rushing, not passing through, but simply being present. It is a meditation on patience, on the stories held in old streets, and on the quiet beauty found in moments when nothing is happening except the act of waiting.
