Oyster Beds in Le Canon, France
Oyster Beds in Le Canon, France
30" x 40" oil on stretched canvas
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.

Images24" x 36" acrylic on stretched canvasThis abstract was painted based on images that emerged as I painted it. I started out without a concept of what was to emerge and suddenly these images began to form. I enjoy sometimes not having a plan and seeing what develops on the canvas.If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me. It is on stretched canvas ready for framing.
