BLEEDING HEARTS 100 Paintings in 100 Days 'Inspirations from a Back Yard' Challenge by Claire Beadon Carnell 02/100

'Bleeding Hearts' 02/100

6 x 6 Oil on panel

When we moved from California to Pennsylvania

when I was six years old, this was one of the

first flowers I remember seeing in my grandmother's garden.

Of course I was completely entranced - who could

believe that a flower could actually grow in the

shape of a heart, and be such a beautiful shade of

pink!

As an adult, I have always grown them wherever

I could have a garden and I still get the same

amount of pleasure seeing those little pink hearts

as I did when I was six.
