Description in the days when i was still expirimenting, i liked to mix old with new. I used to put old suitcases with something modern like a smooth door handle. I actually added this suitcase later. The scene is set in a room in italy i took a slide of on holiday.

This is a great composition of form with or without the 'eclectic' subject matter. I really don't know how I have missed you here and all these words lack meaning compared to what I'm trying to say....

I like the ideas behind the work. I've always enjoyed a three part view looking out a window. Nice stuff!

I love the floor. I can almost feel the texture of it underneath my barefeet.

the selection and arrangement of elements is what makes this so extraordinary.
the mirror with it's obscure reflection.
the table with the lone dish or bowl.
the open window allowing some light in.
and of course the centerpiece, the suitcase.
waiting to leave? or there to stay.
i love the statement or the feeling it makes,...mystery,...uncertainty,...hope fading, or perhaps
growing.
what lies ahead?
what lies behind?
will she leave with me? will she leave me behind? will she allow me to stay?

a suitcase.
waiting to reveal it's secrets.

your work is a wonderful read.

that is amazing, i think the suitcase was a nice addition, the lower left corner would look empty without it, great job

This is beautiful! And kind of sad. Like someone is about to have to go home from a wonderful holiday. Taking one last look out of the window before picking up the case and heading for the door. It has a very melancholy feel to it. Wonderful painting!
