Oyster Beds in Le Canon, France
Oyster Beds in Le Canon, France
30" x 40" oil on stretched canvas
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.

Tuscan Grapes
Tuscan Grapes
12" x 16" watercolor on paper
This painting was done as I sat beneath a grape vine looking up at it in a village I stayed at in Buenconvento, a Tuscan town in Italy. I was fortunate to join a group of painters who attended a morning workshop and then painted every afternoon for two weeks and traveled on weekends and evenings to neighboring Tuscan towns. It was a memorable experience and I enjoyed every minute of painting I did there and times I spent with my artist friends.
This painting is SOLD.
An 8" x 10" print is available for $25 plus s/h.
