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.

The Butterfly I


The Butterfly I
11" x 14" oil on stretched canvas
It is very difficult to sketch and also get a photograph of a butterfly since they seem to be always moving. One day at Winterthur gardens, I happened to catch this butterfly pausing for a treat and quite still. This is the first one of a series of butterfly paitings I started recently.
If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me. This 11" x 14" oil is priced at $400 plus s/h.
A print of this painting is also available for $75 plus s/h.
