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.

Mirror Lake II, Yosemite


Mirror Lake II, Yosemite
36" x 24' oil on stretched canvas
This is the second larger painting of Mirror Lake that I actually began before the smaller one. The reflection in this version is darker than the first one. As I said before, doing a mirror reflection and having it look like it is in the lake was a challenge for me. I have other scenes of Yosemite that I plan to paint in the future.
If you would like to purchase this oil painting, please email me. This 36" x 24" oil painting is priced at $600 plus s/h, ready for framing.
A print of this scene is available for $75 plus s/h.
