Le Bellechasse, Saint Germain
In my twenties, I stayed in St Germain, France. My favorite was the chocolate croissants fresh from the bakery each morning.

Oh yeah, and those chocolate croissants … delectable.

This is a fraction of a papier collé I’m currently working on. Working with the illustration as posted on Aug 31, 2010 (as pictured below) I have incorporated oils, as well as a layers of maps and imagery in the far background.

vincent giarrano
There is no denying that Vincent Giarrano captures sea life in ways that I have only dreamt. Fine oil paintings like these are truly a remarkable find and would be an outstanding purchase that could be passed down from generation to generation. Vincent is, without a doubt, a master of his medium. Please go to his website where he has a variety of imagery to offer.
