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.

White Hydrangeas II


White Hydrangeas II
5" x 5" oil on stretched canvas
Because I had these beautiful white hydrangeas still fresh from the first painting, I decided to do a miniature 5" x 5" from the same setup in the red pitcher with a yellow background. The shape of the flowers is a little different and because of the small size of the canvas, I placed the pitcher more off center. I also painted some blues and violets to offset the totally white flowers.
If you would like to purchase this oil painting, please email me. This 5" x 5" oil painting ready for framing is priced at $125 plus s/h.
An 8" x 10" print is available for $75 plus s/h.
I plan to frame this miniature in a 4" wide frame, which when framed , will cost $250 plus s/h. If you wish to see it framed, please email me.
