Bayview Gallery Exhibits a New Still Life from Gayle Levée

Still life paintings are more than just a random collection of flowers, fruit, containers and objects.  In the Boston School tradition, there is often meaning and symbolism to the elements the artist selects.

Gayle discusses her inspiration for Peace:
“The story of this painting is rather amusing and perhaps not everyone will relate to it.  When I was planning the piece, we had recently  acquired a new puppy.  I began thinking about tender little beginnings like babies and puppies. The little rose in the middle of the arrangement represents that. The other objects represent other stages in life, and the keys are the keys to the mystery of life.”
