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.

Ascension


Ascension
24" x 18" acrylic on stretched canvas
I am doing a series of abstract paintings. This one is based on a childhood dream I kept having of a staircase reaching to the heavens. This is my interpretation of it. Have you ever had a staircase dream in your childhood?
If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me. It is available two ways:
A 24" x 18" acrylic canvas ready for framing priced at $400 plus s/h. or framed in a light maple floater frame priced at $600 plus s/h.
If you would like to see a picture of this painting in a floater frame, please email me.
