Medium: Pastel; oil
Subjects: Landscape ; Figurative ; Still Life.
Style: Representational. Waif says of his work:
Artistically, I think of myself as a dramatist. Whatever the subject, whether painted from life or developed from photographic references, I search for a dramatic presentation, through the use of lighting to reveal form, orchestration of color and value to lead the viewer through the painting and to focus attention on the main subject. Relationships of scale are used to add depth and enhance the sense of reality.
