MEMENTOS
Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Mementos'
Oil  20 x 20

I put this still life together with things that once were treasured
by my mother, and with things that make me think of her.
 It is a memento of her life; a life well-lived.
What better time to post this than the Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Memorial Day, everyone!
