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.

Max at Gladwyne Montessori School


Max at Gladwyne Montessori School
12" x 9" watercolor
Max loved Gladwyne Montessori School where he learned many things to prepare him for First Grade. Here he is pouring water from pitcher to pitcher, an exercise to develop co-ordination. He had a great smile on his face and he just loved performing for his grandparents on Grandparent Day when we could visit his classroom.
This painting is sold. I do commissions on a limited basis. If you are interested in my painting your children or grandchildren, please send me an email.
