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.

Blue Night


Blue Night
30" x 40" acrylic on stretched canvas
This is an abstract in a series on color and design that I am working on in addition to my more representational paintings. I hope the feeling of night forms and dream states is conveyed by the color and shapes. You might think abstract paintings are easy, but for me they are more difficult because they are based on one's imagination.
If you would like to purchase this acrylic painting, please email me. This 30" x 40" painting ready for framing is priced at $1200.
