Trouville Town Study


This is the view from the bridge that links Deauville and Trouville, France. We stayed in Deauville a few weeks ago and found that we were able to walk to Trouville from there. When planning the trip, I wasn't sure how walkable it would be. Though it takes a while, especially when taking frequent picture-taking stops, it can be done. You can also rent bikes, which I think I may do next time. And there WILL be a next time, as three days was not enough to thoroughly explore these two towns in addition to Honfleur! I sadly didn't get to try the oysters from the market in Trouville, and need to go back just for that. Oil on 6"h x 8"w canvas board. SOLD.

Trouville Beach Study


This is one of the first paintings I've done from the new material gathered during my recent trip to France. I was inspired to visit Trouville by the paintings Monet did of these same buildings in the late 1800s. This painting shows the afternoon light. I have many more paintings of France to follow. Oil on 6"h x 8"w canvas board. SOLD.
