Nymphéas du Lac de Moutchic de Lacanau (2021) Painting by Joelle Kehal (Joelle De Lacanau)

The painting !!! I return to the sources, forced by fate!

Established in Lacanau since 2019, I literally fell in love with this seaside resort located on the west coast of the Atlantic!

Arrived somewhat by chance on Lacanau, I learned to discover this wild environment.

Residing in the middle of the pines...on one side, surfing atmosphere on the ocean side, sand dune, beach & on the other 2-3min golf course, forest, lake.

Two atmospheres that coexist in total harmony in this breathtaking setting that is Lacanau!

So I paint my environment: the golf course, the ocean, the pines, the flowers, the forest, the lake and the surfers...

When I leave home, I bring a sketchbook and my camera, because wonder is everywhere!

As for the sunset, it's a festival of colors...

Finally, my youth is catching up with me today.

When I was little, I drew on the counter of my father's Bar-Hotel, I then continued and studied Art, between 1990 and 1999, I studied at the Beaux-Arts in Lyon and at La Martinière -Terreaux (draughtsman-model maker).

But, my life as a mom and my professional life forces me to put my creativity on hold.

Finally, it is in Lacanau, that everything jostles to finally do what I have always loved: painting.

Lacanau's slogan is:
