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.

Homage to Cezanne Still Life


Homage to Cezanne Still Life
16" x 20" watercolor framed
I admire Cezanne's paintings and even traveled to Aix-en-Provence to see his originals in the museum there. So when setting up this still life I thought of the many wonderful paintings Cezanne produced in his studio which still has some of the vases and objects he painted. We even walked up the steep hill from his studio to the park dedicated to him which overlooks Mt. Victoire the famous mountain he painted. The park has many images of his landscapes of this famous mountain. It is worth a visit since it was a popular spot Cezanne painted from in his day.
If you would like to purchase this watercolor, please email me. It is framed priced at $250 plus s/h. An 8" x 10" print is available for $25 plus s/h.
