This is an image of our Camp de la Suyère, our retreat deep in the Maures mountain
range overlooking the Gulf of Saint Tropez. It is just far enough to avoid the summer hustle and bustle
while close enough to meet Jean Pierre' passion: to be on the water within minutes. After our terrible loss of
Sean Seamour II last May and our subsequent landlocked state he has begun to plan Sean Seamour III  


In the meantime I have delved into my new atelier finding new sources
of inspiration you can find in the gallery window
of my website http://www.maykesassenthornton.com/galerie.php I will soon post pictures of the atelier itself.


As not all my work is presented on the website, at the request of those interested I have begun to post
some of my older
work on the blog, just click "some of my older paintings" on the left menu to
see them,
notably some commissions and items in private collections. Unfortunately some are from scanned photographic material.
There is of course much more of my work available on my website www.maykesassen.com . I would love
your feedback on what you think of these paintings and of course what I am doing now.


The painting below that was to become Camp de la Suyère was made three
years ago, well before we had discovered our little hidden hamlet full
of history. The palm tree isn't that big but our home it is effectively composed
of three buildings of which one is separated and has become my atelier.
