A MOTHER'S LOVE Daily Painters of Pennsylvania May 2012 Challenge Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'A Mother's Love'
Oil on Canvas
10 x 8


I thought this picture really expressed a mother's love 

for her baby.  Thanks to Patricia Griffin for providing

such an inspiring project for this month's DPP Challenge!

Hope that everyone is having a very happy

Memorial Day weekend. Both my father and my

father-in-law were decorated WWII veterans, and I

have always been thankful for all of the people who

protect and serve our country so selflessly so that

we can live in freedom.

SPRING MORNING ON LITTLE ROUND TOP Gettysburg National Military Park An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

 'Spring Morning on Little Round Top'

Gettysburg National Military Park

Oil on stretched canvas

18 x 24

Yes, I am still painting rocks...can't resist them!  This is done
from notes, sketches and photos I took while up at

Little Round Top at the Gettysburg National Military Park
earlier this Spring when the redbuds were blooming.  I
loved the way the morning sun was working its way
up over the rocks.

PANSY TRIO an Original Plein Air Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

What a great day of plein air painting!  I went over to
my daughter's to paint her beautiful flower gardens with
my two granddaughters.  We had a beautiful, breezy day
to paint - so much fun!  See more pictures below.

What a great set-up - I was able to get out of the bright
sunlight by parking myself under their deck umbrella.

The girls painted right beside me.  I see some rather nice
looking flowers being painted...

I got a good block-in done on my second painting of the
day.  I love the variety of beautiful blue flowers my
daughter has in these beds...especially that lovely blue flower
directly to the right of my pochade box.

Don't really have to put up with this when I am out painting
in the wild...but I wouldn't give these wild things up
for anything in the world ♥
