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.

Zebra at the Norristown Zoo


Zebra at the Norristown Zoo
16" x 20" acrylic on paper framed
For the longest while, I never painted animals except for our pet cat Tiger. But recently I have attempted a few animals from pictures I have taken at our local zoos. This is one from the Norristown zoo which I visited with my grandchildren. I must admit that the stripes were tedious, but I was happy when it was finally finished. What do you think?
If you would like to purchase this framed painting, please email me and I can show you how it looks in its frame. This 16" x 10"framed painting is priced at $400 plus s/h. A 8" x 10" matted prine is available for $75 plus s/h.
