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.

Apple Reflections


Apple Reflections
8" x 10" soft pastel on paper
This painting was done using Schminke soft pastels which are a joy to use because they blend so well. I tried to capture the light on the apples and the apple reflections on the table. Yesterday I went apple picking with my grandsons and purchased some apples to use in future paintings.
If you would like to purchase this pastel painting, please email me. This pastel, matted with a white mat is priced at $200 plus s/h. An 8" x 10" print is available for $35 plus s/h.
