Glass Half Empty

In Glass Half Empty, Barbara Storey confronts the complexity of human introspection through an emotionally charged figurative composition. The figure, caught in a private moment of contemplation, is surrounded by symbolic elements — an empty wine glass and bottle — that suggest themes of loneliness, reflection, and perhaps resignation. The oversized, expressive hands become a focal point, conveying both vulnerability and silent dialogue.

With its brooding palette and arresting anatomy, the painting evokes a haunting atmosphere. Storey’s raw, gestural style invites viewers into an internal landscape that balances between existential inquiry and human tenderness. A compelling addition to collections that celebrate narrative depth and psychological realism.
