I thought I put this picture of Mom's painting on my blog but I had posted it on Facebook instead. Here is my favorite painting by Mom- Claudette O'Malley. She has such beautiful clouds and the dunes remind me of Horseneck Beach in Westport, MA. I remember going to Horseneck with the family as a little kid. We always went to the rear back parking lot and planted ourselves early in the morning. We brought a picnic and sand shovels and buckets and had such a good time. I remember because as a pale pukey redhead, I would have to either be slathered with sunblock or wear a shirt. I thought there were only nine seagulls (Mom & Dad plus the seven children) but then I took this picture and counted more seagulls. Doesn't matter...I still love this painting.
I hope my brothers and sisters post their paintings somewhere to show a portfolio of her work.
Above is Maureen's painting by my Mom (C.O'Malley signed) that is in Van Gogh impressionistic way...short taps of paintbrush.
