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.

Red Vase Floral


Red Vase Floral
20" x 10" pastel on paper
Whispy flowers displayed in a red vase created this still life which I attempted to capture in colorful pastels. I'm visiting my friend Pat in DelRay Beach, Florida now and attended the Boca Art Fest yesterday. The paintings were fantastic and it's always humbling to see such talented artists from Florida and other areas. But it also is motivational and has spurred me on to continue painting every day.
If you would like to purchase this painting, please email me. This pastel is framed and priced at $250 plus s/h.
A 10" x 8" print is available for $35 plus s//h.
