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 Eating a Cookie


Max Eating a Cookie
14" x 11" watercolor
This is a painting of my grandson Max who loves sweets, especially cookies. Here he is a toddler, but now he's in First Grade. Don't they grow up fast. I enjoy painting children, especially my grandsons. I tried to us complements here--the green background contrasting with his red shirt. The dinosaur was just the symbol to create interest around the painting. I do paint commissions on a limited basis. If you are interested in having a painting done of your children or grandchildren, please email me.
This painting is not for sale.
