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.

Boats of Collioure, France, rance


Boats of Collioure, France
18" by 22" acrylic framed painting
In one of my travels last year, we visited a little French fishing village where Matisse and other painters went to paint called Collioure. It is the most beautiful, quaint place on the southeast coast, just before you enter Spain. Everywhere you walk along the waterfront is so picturesque that you want to put up your easel and paint it.
This is a close-up acrylic painting of some very colorful fishing boats sitting at rest.
If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me. It is framed in a gold wooden frame and is priced at $500 plus s/h.
An 8" x 10" print is available for $75 plus s/h.
