Nicole St-Pierre’s palette is composed of primary and secondary colours; frequently, the artist juxtaposes complementary colours broken by thick, powerful and dark, almost fl, lines and uses white drapery to accentuate contrasts and balance the composition.
While Nicole employs a powerful palette of red, green, yellow and blue, applied with an evident brushwork, she creates a comforting harmony by painting subjects New Englanders are especially fond of -- such as floral arrangements, table tops, animals and the human figure.

Pierre Nicole (1625 - November 16, 1695), one of the most distinguished of the French Jansenisms, was the son of a provincial barrister, and was born at Chartres.
His letters being violently attacked by Desmaretz de Saint-Sorlin, an erratic minor poet who professed great devotion to the Jesuit, Nicole replied to him in another series of letters, Les Visionnaires (1666).
In the course of these he observed that poets and dramatists were no better than "public poisoners." This remark stung Racine to the quick; he turned not only on his old master, but on all Port Royal, in a scathing reply, which--as Nicolas Boileau-Despreaux told him--did more honour to his head than to his heart.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pierre Nicole
About 1683 de Harlay, Archbishop of Paris, to whom he had sent a sort of retractation, authorized Nicole to return to Chartres, then to Paris.
Pierre Nicole was a distinguished writer and a vigorous controversialist and, together with Pascal, contributed much to the formation of French prose.
As a controversialist, he too frequently placed his talent at the service of a sect; however, many are of the opinion that he did not wholly share the errors of the majority of the Jansenists.
