REDBUDS BY DEVIL'S DEN
Gettysburg National Battlefield
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Redbuds by Devil's Den'
Gettysburg National Battlefield
Oil on Linen Panel
9 x 12

Today was one of those perfect Spring days.  The
temperatures were in the high 50's, the air literally sparkled
with light, and the redbuds were in full bloom on the
Gettysburg Battlefield. Members from our plein air group, the
Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters, painted
on the battlefield this morning, and this is my painting
right before I packed up and headed home for the day. 

I am so blessed to be able to follow my passion.

Redbuds are some of my favorite signs of spring. Yes, it looks like you had a wonderful day!

Love those redbuds, Claire! (I think I prefer yours to mine from a few days ago.) And I had to smile when I saw this because I know right where this is -- as it turns out, I'm just finishing a studio painting of very near that area, at dusk. Looking forward to being back over there and painting with you again!

Just missed you. My wife and I were there last weekend. Took some good photos of the area. It was good weather at least on Friday!
Painting is looking great! Very nice!

Glad you had a great day- the painting has a good design but I can't see it too well- I'm hoping you will post is larger soon :)
