Description: This captivating French Impressionist painting by Fanch Lel offers a glimpse into a joyous village gathering, where townsfolk are seen dancing in the streets in their traditional attire. The palette is rich with lavender, pastel pinks, and soft blues, highlighting the vibrant energy of the celebration. Lel’s skill in capturing movement and atmosphere through his brushstrokes is apparent, with the figures seemingly in mid-dance, their garments flowing with their movements. The village architecture, painted in subtle, muted tones, serves as a delicate backdrop, placing the focus on the lively scene in the foreground.
The lively scene takes place outdoors, where you can almost hear the music in the air as villagers join in the communal dance. Lel’s style, with its loose brushstrokes and soft blending of colors, creates a dreamlike ambiance. The energetic crowd draws your eye around the painting, evoking feelings of warmth, festivity, and nostalgia for simpler times.
Paintings like these, which capture moments of cultural and social life, are iconic of Fanch Lel’s work, offering a sense of place and time while engaging the viewer in the scene. This piece, dating from the 1990s, is a beautiful example of his French Impressionist style and would make a stunning addition to any collection celebrating traditional life or Impressionist art.

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
