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.

By the Creek



By the Creek
24" x 18" oil on stretched canvas

My husband and I love to take walks in our neighborhood. This is a scene of a brook that we often pass by on our walks.
I especially like to see the changing foliage during the fall and the greening of the trees in the spring. This is my attempt to capture the colors of this changing landscape.

If you would like to purchase this oil painting, please email me. This 24" x 18" oil painting reading for framing is priced at $500 plus s/h.

It can also be purchased framed in a gold wood frame for $600 plus s/h. If you would like to see it framed, I can email you a picture of it.
