'Along the Monocacy River'
Oil on Linen Panel
12 x 9
Yesterday I was on the Monacacy Battlefield in Frederick, MD
painting with fellow artists Deborah Lovelace Richards
and Peter Plant. The three of us are going to have an exhibit of
our work at the Delaplaine Art Center in Frederick this November

our work at the Delaplaine Art Center in Frederick this November
that will consist of plein air paintings we have done
of Civil War Battlefields - "Hallowed Ground - En Plein Air".
It was a fun day - not nearly as hot as was anticipated,
and there was shade and an occasional breeze along
the water which made for some pleasant painting.

I just took my painting out of my pochade box tonight and decided
that I am going to leave it alone for now. My view was of
a tributary feeding into the Monocacy, and the sunlight was
shining down through the trees and illuminating that little
rise in the middle of the water. If I do anything, I may paint a
few more highlights on the bright tree on the left.
What do you think?
If you would like to see more of my work,
interested in purchasing any of my paintings you see
here on this blog, please contact me.

This is so beautiful. I love how the sunlight is gently peeking through adding a special warmth. Sounds like it is going to be a wonderful show!
Claire, what a lovely painting - such a great feeling to it! Say hay to Peter; missed seeing him in June this year.
Thank you, Kathy!
Thanks, Dianne - I was glad to see both Deb and Peter, and really missed both of them at Gettysburg this year too! They're both doing some exciting work.
This is just beautiful. The light in this painting is the focal point. I did a double take when I first saw it. So full of life.
