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.

White Hydrangea Still Life


White Hydrangea Still Life
9" x 12" oil on stretched canvas
Next to sunflowers, hydrangeas are my favorite flowers to paint. This little white hydrangea is filled with other colors in a vivid green pitcher. I thought the orange/red background would complement the greens of the fruit and pitcher.
What do you think?
To puchase this painting, please email me. This oil ready for framing is priced at $250 plus s/h.
An 8" x 10" matted print is available for $35 plus s/h.
