One of my favorite trips was to Normandy in 2014. My mother and I were walking in Trouville in the late afternoon, after spending the day in Honfleur. I wanted to see the beaches that inspired Monet. Some of the houses are the same ones that existed when he painted. One of my favorite areas was near the fish market. I really wanted to stop for oysters, but we had the need to explore and take photos. This painting depicts the energy of the evening with people eating towers of seafood while others took their evening walks in the sun, either before or after dinner. As you can tell by the jackets, it was cool outside, but everyone wanted to be in the sun. Oil on 16"h x 20"w stretched linen. SOLD.
