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.

Bouquet of Tulips


Bouquet of Tulips
5" x 5" oil on stretched canvas
This is one of a series of mini paintings I am preparing for an upcoming show. It will be framed in a 4 1/2" frame which I will photograph and put on my blog when completed.
If you would like to purchase a mini like this one, please email me. Unframed it is priced at $100 plus s/h. Since the sides are painted, it needn't be framed. However, when framed in a 4 1/2" decorative frame it is priced at $250 plus s/h.
