Normandy & Brittany inspired

The collection started when I was a judge in charge of juveniles in the Peninsula of Cotentin in Normandy. It continued as I moved to work on international crimes around the world and was going back whenever possible to my peace heaven there in front of the islands of Jersey and Guernesey and travelled to Brittany. The Collection includes oil and watercolours of Rouen, Sein Island, family and sea side sceneries, gardens and bouquets.

First of two light oils showing well known spots in Rouen, 19th century

Hélène's garden

This oil shows a view of my friend's garden in a small village of Cotentin by the coast facing Jerzey and Guernezey islands.

Nana's garden

Nana was my mother's oldest friend in the village of Créances where we settled in 1982. Her jardin de curé was always a source of discovery.

Ginger's beach
