Description:
This charming coastal watercolour by French artist Fanch Lel captures a picturesque fishing village, with a gently curving stone harbour leading the viewer’s eye toward a distant lighthouse and a row of pastel-toned buildings. Painted with a light, airy touch, Lel’s signature loose brushwork and subtle colour palette evoke the soft atmosphere of early morning or late afternoon light on the French coast.
Several small fishing boats rest quietly on the shore, their hulls tinged with hints of green and red, gently reflecting in the shallow water. The iconic lighthouse stands watch at the far end of the peninsula, giving a sense of orientation and history to the otherwise tranquil village scene. The sky is rendered in delicate washes of pink and grey, suggesting a changing sky and adding mood to the composition.
Likely inspired by a northern French port such as Honfleur or Douarnenez, this watercolour reflects the artist’s love for coastal life, maritime architecture, and fleeting light. A perfect piece for collectors of French seascapes, nautical art, or impressionist watercolours.

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.

Description:
This lively coastal oil painting by Fanch Lel, signed and dated 1990, captures a charming seaside scene with three brightly painted fishing boats resting on the sand at low tide. In the distance, a lighthouse stands watch on a rocky outcrop, its red-capped beacon contrasting against the pale grey sky and choppy turquoise waters.
Executed with confident brushwork and a keen eye for maritime colour, this painting blends soft, overcast tones with vivid pops of red, blue, and orange across the boat hulls. The textured rocks, loosely rendered shoreline, and atmospheric sky lend the piece a dynamic yet calm feel—conveying both movement and stillness typical of harbour life.
