Description:
In this peaceful impressionist painting, Fanch Lel captures a rural village nestled beneath soft autumn trees, viewed from a winding path on a gentle hillside. A tall white church spire rises from the heart of the village, surrounded by glowing terracotta rooftops. The cool grey and lavender tones of the distant hills and sky suggest early morning mist or late afternoon haze.
The path in the foreground meanders into the scene, drawing the eye past a line of slender trees with golden-orange foliage. Their trunks, rendered in bold vertical strokes, give rhythm and structure to the composition. The blurred quality of the background, combined with the gentle dappling of colour, evokes the softness of memory or atmosphere rather than architectural precision.
This piece may have been inspired by French villages in Alsace, Lorraine or Burgundy, known for their clustered homes and pointed spires set among forested hills. Lel’s handling of colour and light imbues the scene with calm, ideal for collectors drawn to nostalgic European countryside views and impressionist landscapes.
Perfect for cottage-style interiors, rustic settings, or collectors who appreciate seasonal transitions and village life captured in oil.

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.

Changing Tides
By Maryann Lucas
Located in Sag Harbor, NY
An oil painting of the wetlands of Sag Harbor. Hues of greens, blues, whites and purples, make up this almost abstract landscape composition. Painted from life, at Noyac bay.
Painting dimensions: 36 x 24 inches
Framed dimensions: 40 x 28 inches
Maryann Lucas lives and works in Sag Harbor. She is primarily self-taught but has also received instruction and support from wonderful and generous members of the East End artistic community. Working exclusively in oils, Lucas sets out almost daily to create plein aire landscapes and seascapes. In her studio, she works directly from life and captures the beauty of natural light as it transforms ordinary objects into visual delights.
Lucas wants her work to celebrate all that is well with this world and brilliant in this life, despite its pockets of darkness.
For me, she says, I know I am in the Presence of something beautiful, when it steals my breath, silences my mind, pushes out everything else and draws me in. I trust That. I use That to guide my hands as I arrange a still life or scan a landscape to determine where to set down my easel. Ultimately, That is what drives me to paint.
Becoming evermore skilled as an oil painter is another of Lucas goals. To that end she remains teachable, finding it refreshing and vital for her own growth to paint with others. She has studied with favorite artists including Michael Klein...
