A Big M carton sits beside him - a small bribe for his patience!\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"small-font no-pad-top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarm brickwork, vintage cars and long shadows give the painting a nostalgic Australian feel, while the quiet humour of the waiting child and dog adds a slightly bittersweet edge. Part architectural portrait, part childhood memory, 'The Long Wait' continues Cunningham’s exploration of Australian suburbia, family slides, summer afternoons and the small rituals of growing up - when being bored was just part of growing up.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"small-font no-pad-top\"\u003e65 x 85cm (68 x 88cm framed) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"small-font no-pad-top\"\u003eAcrylic \u0026amp; aerosol on canvas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"small-font no-pad-top\"\u003eThis piece is framed in a sleek low profile natural oak floating frame.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Geoff Cunningham Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48984210702571,"sku":null,"price":1950.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/3972\/6827\/files\/TheLongWait_LR.jpg?v=1783224487","url":"https:\/\/geoffcunninghamart.com\/products\/the-long-wait","provider":"Geoff Cunningham Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
