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.

Sunrise in Tropic Harbor


Sunrise in Tropic Harbor
32 1/2" by 39 1/2" acryllic on paper framed


This painting is my impression of a sunrise seen in Tropic Harbor in Del Ray, Florida. Every January my husband and I visit our friend Pat who lives in a condo overlooking this wonderful harbor. As often as I can, I try to catch the sun rising over this waterway which casts a different picture each moment as it gradually appears through the cloud formations.
This painting was one of the top ten prize winners in the 2008 Spring Baltimore Watercolor Society Show judged by Skip Lawrence.
This painting is matted and framed with a light oak wood protected by plexiglass. It is priced at $2500 plus s/h.
If you are interested in purchasing this painting, please email me. A picture of it in its present frame can be emailed to you at your request.
