In the late 1800's over 20 painters gathered around Gaughin at Port-Aven in Brittany. They prospered by painting the vivid landscapes and spiritual subjects.
Thousands of years earlier a different group of artists created the Megalithic Monuments in the fields around Carnac. |

Kervalet to Salle / The Salt Marshes / Brittany Acrylic on Canvas, 2" X 60" five panels $2,400 |

I stare at their work in amazement and wonder what it must have been like 17,000 years ago when the artists of the Lascaux cave drawings would go each day to their easels and create. Did they talk to each other? Have critiques? Have openings? Did they share technical information? Carennac / The Dordogne
