by Fanch Lel (French b. 1930)

In this atmospheric harbor painting, the artist captures the quiet beauty of a coastal village at dusk or dawn. Two large fishing boats rest prominently in the foreground, their worn hulls painted in rich blues, greens, and reds, weathered by the sea. The moody sky above is filled with swirling clouds, while the distant row of buildings along the waterfront reflects a sleepy village slowly waking up or settling in.
This delightful oil painting presents a tranquil rural scene featuring two large haystacks resting in a sunlit field. Painted in an impressionistic style, the artwork captures the essence of a quiet countryside, bathed in soft light and natural hues. The haystacks, depicted in warm earthy tones, stand out against the backdrop of rolling hills and lush greenery, conveying the peaceful, slow-paced rhythm of rural life.
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.
