The Main Gallery
The majority of work in this gallery are realistic in style, and were developed using techniques used by the masters I've been studying. 
While touring the Château Vaux Le Vicomte, I realized that the history of this place included an extremely painful loss for Nicolas Fouquet’s wife – the loss of her home.  This window parallels the view from her bedroom window, looking out onto the gardens that had been designed with her in mind. This painting captures my first impression of a family friend's farmhouse outside of Tonnerre, France, and my first experience of French hospitality - warm and graceful.  The door is ajar, and our hostess is watching our arrival even as she effortlessly prepares a simple and magnificent 6 course lunch for us - everything is 'just so' without looking like any effort was needed. This painting captures one of the first moments during a trip to France when I was simply struck by the beauty of something for no concrete reason – there’s no signage on this kitchenware, it is not the point of the displays in the kitchen beneath the Chateau – but this niche and its contents made me stop.
