Sitting on the veranda facing this beautiful vista and its changing sunrises and sunsets is what we do when we visit Le Canon at the Gilchrist home of Patrick and Florence, parents of our close friends Seamus and Mia.

This is a painting of oyster beds in the Bassein de Archechon in the northwestern shore of France near Cap Ferret, an hour north of Bordeaux. It is also where Monet and other impressionists painted because of its beauty.

The house looks out at this vast water basin full of oyster beds. The raw oysters in all the areas of these waters are so fresh and delicious. We eat them at the little restaurant houses owned by the French oyster fishermen and enjoy the beautiful waterfront view and the changing sunsets.

This painting is sold, but an 8" x 10" print is available for $75 plus s/h.

Oscar Peterson at the Piano


Oscar Peterson at the Piano
24" x 19 1'2" charcoal on matboard
This is a charcoal drawing of Oscar Peterson, one of my most favorite jazz players, at the piano. Since I play the piano and have attempted jazz improvision, I used to listen to Oscar Peterson's piano renditions to try to learn how to improvise.
If you would like to purchase this drawing, please email me. This charcoal drawing is priced at $300 ready for framing.
A 10" x 8" matted print is available for $75 plus s/h.
