'Remembrance'
Gold Beach, Normandy, France
© Claire Beadon Carnell
Oil on stretched canvas
15 x 30
Some of the most memorable places I saw while in France
were the beaches of Normandy. It reminded me so
much of the Civil War battlefields I have visited because
there was such a contrast of exquisite beauty with
the realization of the tragedy and heavy loss of life
that took place here during a war (World War II).
Both my father and my father-in-law were soldiers
in France during the war, and I painted this
in remembrance (and love) of them and all that they
did to preserve our freedoms.
This painting will be available at Brath and Hughes Fine Art, LLC - Gallery
in November/December of 2014 when I will
be having an exhibit of my French Series paintings there.
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.

A wonderful sentiment and tribute to your father and father-in-law. This beautiful painting by their daughter is a testiment to their fight for our freedoms.
Can't wait to see this in person. The composition is well planned and my eye is lead around the canvas.
