In ink and layered watercolor washes; a close up portrait of a woman in 1910; she sits by a window, pen in hand at her writing desk with a blank page on her desk, she is looking wistfully out of the window; In the foreground can be seen the bottom of a letter with the script "Only write to me, write to me, I love to see the hop and skip and sudden starts of your ink." written at the bottom of the letter; the background has implied details of a Victorian style salon; the emphasis is on the contemplative pace of letter writing
The quote in the prompt, “Only write to me, write to me, I love to see the hop and skip and sudden starts of your ink.” is from 'Possession' by A.S. Byatt.
The title is from a quote from Phyllis Theroux “To send a letter is a good way to go somewhere without moving anything but your heart.”
