'View from Little Round Top'

Although today was rather overcast, it turned out
to be a wonderful day to paint. I met up with several artists
to paint from the crest of Little Round Top on the
Gettysburg Battlefield. From that vantage point,
there is a painting waiting to happen no matter where you
stand. I've always liked this view through some of the
enormous boulders up there, and was rewarded to hear
quite a few tourists repeat my sentiments as they
stood on the boulders and looked out across the valley.
Of course, there were also several people who
apologized for standing in my way...then cheekily asked
if I would put them into the painting! I said that I would do
so gladly, if they wouldn't mind standing there for a
couple of hours....

Un point de vue superbe et une peinture magnifique avec une belle profondeur.
Gros bisous et je continue à vous envier pour ces moments de partage...
Simply beautiful, Claire! I love the boulders framing this view as well.
I love this painting, Claire. The rocks look very realistic. Beautiful landscape!
Thank you so much, Martine!
Thank you, Sherry. Those boulders are amazing - you can not even imagine how big they are...and then to think how long they have been there!
Very beautiful Claire! Fantastic work!
Too funny about the tourists! Great painting!
Thanks so much for your comments, Mikko.
Kimberly, we always laugh at some of the comments we get when we are out plein air painting...without fail we are always asked if we know Bob Ross...
I think all the painting you have been doing outside has been incredible. Your painting daily has been really beneficial, I think your work is looking better than ever. Congrats on your recent event! I would love to go there some day!
Thank you, Mary Anne!
