LETTER TO LIA’/acrylic/gunther

How many have received the letter Lia has let slip to the floor, her thoughts now focused beyond that red window?
She has not dropped the envelope, perhaps unable to completely part from the moment. Is the message a sad break or is it offering joy? Is Lia mad — “seeing red” — or is this the red of romance?
The window is big, the room is wide with blank space, and there is a hallway. All in Lia’s life, too.
