Description
Another rural scene in China.A spinster longs for the return of her lover. In her longing, she miraculously maintains her youthful image, just as she was when they first met. But will he come back at all?
Inspired by the painting of the same title, Viendra T il (Why comes he not) [link] by French artist, Jean-Georges Vibert (1840-1902)
He is popularly described as, "part of the growing democratization of Europe in which the artists and writers of the time were exposing the fraud and pomposity of big government and a hypocritical clergy that talked about walking in the shoes of the fisherman, and giving for god all worldly goods, while they themselves lived in the height of oppulance and luxury in great mansions with servants waiting on their every whim." [link]
Could this scenario be applied to some emerging economic nations in Asia?

lovely picture and concept...I like that you base the emotion on a painting and kept the same feel without doing the same images as the painting.
well done!

Thanks so much! Emotion is everyone's favourite subject here. I try my best to merge Western concepts with Oriental scenes and hope to create something different!
