When Janet Fish moved into her friends Chuck and Leslie Close's apartment in New York, she found a number of things that had been left behind. Leslie had left cleaning supplies, magazines, coupons, a bowl of bananas, a green pitcher, a pink plastic bag, a potted plant, and keys. The objects that we have in our homes tell stories about us, such as what we like to do and things that we're interested in. What does After Leslie Left tell us about Leslie? The real subject of this painting is not the objects — it's the light that shines on through them! Janet was fascinated with light and its reflections.
