We begin  "The Art of The Nude" with this view looking out the window from inside the American in Paris Gallery.  The view includes the classical posture of a goddess figurine. In the background we see the grounds of my home that I've created as a sanctuary for art and inspiration.  Notice the lines on the photograph.  The grid allows me to use the pose as inspiration for a work in process in the atelier.  Now let's go into the studio to see what results from this inspiration, shall we?
