A sentimental piece for me.
This was my very first attempt at really working on a larger scale, as well as it being the first piece that I worked directly on Canvas with. Which was challenging for me at the time.
I am a hopeless romantic & I do love the story in this work of art.
This is a simple love story of two people separated by land & water, homesick & eager to see each other again. Both lovers' work takes them abroad for weeks at a time. They write to each other in Romantic fashion, isn't it lovely?
He writes the letter whilst he is leaning against a Lion, its something of a fantasy of mine, so I included it in the scene. He has a Red Rose by his side to mail her with a good old fashioned love letter titled, " Remember me with this Rose ". We should still be writing Love letters via post right, why not?
