Winter Kitchen 2008, watercolor on paper, 40" x 60” (44" x 63" framed)

This is an English basement where servants prepared meals for a 1760's household. A large hearth used for cooking and heat during the winter months is at the center of the painting. A restoration project to repair the roof was underway and the wood planks in front of the fireplace had been temporarily stored in front of the fireplace. more
