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.

Girl in the Park





Girl in the Park

Pastel 8" by 11" on Paper


There is a park nearby called the Willows and this was done in the A.M. I tried to capture the light and shadows of early morning before they changed.


The model was once a ballarina and I think she has a very graceful body.


If you would like to purchase thie 8" x 11" pastel, please email me. It is done on Wallis paper, a sanded surface.


The 8" x 11" pastel is priced at $200 plu s/h
