Description

This is my modern day interpretation on a painting by Vermeer "the letter reader" He uses a lot of symbolism in his work to depict the nature of the subject and I've tried to do the same here. I was also influenced by the war taking place in Iraq and all the soldiers that will never get to come home.

Yes, the first thing that came to my mind was Vermeer. This has the same light and mood and symbolism. Good modern version!
