Description:
This lively harbour scene by French artist Fanch Lel captures a classic coastal village setting, with fishing boats gently floating in calm waters beneath a sky of soft blues and greys. The compact line of buildings with slate rooftops and a central steeple creates a harmonious backdrop, rendered in a muted, tonal palette that evokes the atmosphere of northern France—possibly Brittany or Normandy.
Lel's thick, impressionist brushwork adds depth and vibrancy to the water’s surface, where subtle reflections and pops of red and turquoise animate the otherwise calm scene. The repetitive rhythm of the boats’ curved shapes and the play of light on their hulls offer a sense of movement and gentle bustle.
Perfect for collectors who appreciate French maritime scenes, village architecture, or expressive seascapes, this work is a charming tribute to everyday coastal life.

Fanch Lel
Fanch Lel’s paintings, primarily executed in oil and gouache, evoke the serenity and charm of the French countryside, with a particular emphasis on the region's coastal and rural beauty. His works often highlight iconic landmarks such as Mont Saint-Michel and capture the essence of Breton culture with his portrayals of the region’s people and customs. Lel's self-taught, plein air approach allows for dynamic compositions that reflect the atmospheric light and textures of the region, giving his pieces a timeless appeal. His choice of soft, muted colors and rich textures brings a sense of nostalgia and quietude to each painting, making them a perfect addition to collections that appreciate mid-century French art. A member of the Société des Artistes Indépendants and a Knight of the Palmes Académiques, Fanch Lel's works have been featured in numerous exhibitions across France, including in Paris, Avranches, Dinard, and Pont-Aven, to name a few. His art has been highly sought after by collectors for decades.

20th Century Oil painting, a View of Chinese Junks at sea.
By Ken Moroney
Located in Woodbury, CT
20th Century Oil painting of an Impressionist scene of Chinese Junks at sea.
Moroney was born on the 14th of February 1949 in South London. Of Anglo Irish parentage, his father was typical of his generation and worried about Ken’s artistic temperament which he viewed as effeminate. As a result, Ken took up boxing and won a gold medal for South London in his teens. His art continued to flourish with his trademark striking use of color. His main medium oils and he favors romantic subjects of Edwardian times. Ken has traveled extensively and spent 2 years working for major galleries in New York. The Royal Academy nominated him in 1976 as being one of the few promising young artists to emerge this century: "Ken Moroney has considerable talent, any painting purchased now can only be seen as a sound long term investment."
Ken Moroney's work now hangs in many important collections and has had paintings exhibited at The Royal Academy (London), and the Kline Galleries (Canada).
The painting came from a private collection and previously came from Duncan Miller...
