Painting Oil on Canvas by Bob Meyer: Last Letter, Framed

Last Letter, it says. Nobody in this picture looks eager to read it.

Last Letter is a framed oil on canvas by Bob Meyer, from France, ca. 2017. An oil of this size is made for close looking, the kind of small picture that holds a wall by mood rather than by scale. A pale, doll-like figure sits slumped against the side of a wooden boat, knees together, feet trailing toward a misty gray foreground. Behind it the wall burns deep red. The heavy carved frame is dark with silvery highlights. Seventeen inches wide and 14.25 high.

No letter in sight. The title leaves that to you.
