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.

Jazz Man of Manayunk II


Jazz Man of Manayunk II
30" x 22" watercolor on Arches paper
At the Manyunk Art Fair, Philadelphia, this man was entertaining us with his saxaphone playing jazz. I tried to capture the moment.
If you would like to purchase this watercolor, please email me.
This 30" x 22" watercolor is priced without framing at $1,000 plus s/h.
It is also available in a natural wooden frame, matted with acrylic glass priced at $1500 plus s/h. It would be a good painting for home or restaurants.
