Collecting Works by Valerie Collymore
Each painting carries within it a great deal of thought, planning, and accumulated knowledge — and in equal measure, the quieter forces of experimentation, intuition, memory, and feeling. This is fine art. And it simply takes time.
In Progress —
Letters from the French Riviera —Fountainhead Gallery, Seattle · Solo Exhibition 2027
The following works are being made for the 2027 solo exhibition. Each painting in this collection has been given the time, the studio hours, and the unhurried attention it requires. A select number will be made available for reservation before the opening night — through Fountainhead Gallery, Seattle.
Through the Pines — Paloma Beach, Cap Ferrat
Oil on Linen · 24 × 30"
A glimpse of the one of the most storied coastlines in the world — seen through parasol pines on the path to Paloma Beach, the sea appearing between the trunks.
Effet Matin avec Nuages — Port Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat
Oil on Canvas · 9 × 12"
Two darling blue boats in the port of Saint-Jean — an effect of morning light with clouds. Intimate in scale.
First Light, Cap Ferrat
Oil on Canvas · 30 × 24"
The sunrise over Cap Ferrat — painted from the vault of light experiences in my memory, gathered over a lifetime of early mornings on the Côte d'Azur.
The Pointus of Cagnes-sur-Mer — Revisited
Oil on Canvas · Dimensions to be confirmed
A return to the subject that earned the Award of Distinction from the American Impressionist Society — revisited with new eyes and a deeper understanding of light.

"Each painting arrives in its own time — the result of thought, feeling, memory, and the quieter forces that no amount of planning can replace. Those who have been following the work closely will be the first to know." — Valerie Collymore
