Description:
This enchanting seascape by Fanch Lel, offers a serene view of the coast, likely capturing a picturesque spot in Brittany, France. The focal point of the piece is a lighthouse perched on a rocky outcrop, with its accompanying light keeper's lodge adding a quaint, rustic charm to the scene. The lighthouse stands as a beacon against the cloudy sky, symbolizing guidance and safety along the rugged coastal waters.
In the foreground, a few boats are anchored on the sandy shore, one resting slightly tilted as if caught in a peaceful lull, while gentle waves lap against the rocks. Further out in the water, small sailboats drift calmly, their sails catching the soft light of the sky. The artist’s choice of cool blues and earthy browns evokes the freshness of the sea air, while wisps of yellow and lavender in the sky suggest the approaching dusk or dawn, lending an ethereal glow to the scene.
Lel's brushwork is loose and expressive, capturing the movement of the waves and the texture of the rocks with a lively, impressionistic touch. This painting invites viewers to experience a quiet moment by the sea, where the natural beauty and simplicity of coastal life are celebrated in harmonious tones and tranquil forms, with the lighthouse standing as a quiet sentinel over the waters.

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.

Biography
Eric Harrison (Born 1971)
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.”
-Henry D. Thoreau
Eric Harrison-born 1971 in San Antonio, Texas. In 1995 he married Kim Marie, and together they have two sons, Noah and Ethan. The Harrison’s reside in the hill country west of Blanco, Texas.
Currently painting in a language resonant with other Texas artists such as Robert and Julian Onderdonk, Robert Wood, Porfirio Salinas, Dawson Dawson-Watson, and Robert Harrison; with an affinity toward the work of California painter William Wendt. Paul Cezanne and many of the post impressionists.
Exhibitions and collections of his work include:
The United States Embassy in Togo, Africa
The University of Texas at San Antonio
The Buckhorn Museum San Antonio
Best of the Best Art Show Salado, Texas
