MORNING'S LIGHT
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Morning's Light'
Oil on Linen Panel
9 x 12

I painted this while participating in the first Artist's Colony
sponsored by the Gettysburg Festival.  The vantage point is
looking down from Little Round Top toward Devil's Den.
It was a beautiful summer morning, and we got there just
as the sun was starting to kiss the tops of the trees.

Morning's Light will be part of an exhibit of work created by
Daily Painters of Pennsylvania, and will take place at the
Brafferton Inn in Gettysburg during the month of November
2010.

RED LEAF 2

'Red Leaf 2'
Oil  5 x 7
63/100

Day 63

When I found this red leaf, the bits of orange and
yellow in it, as well as those curling tips were begging
me to paint it.  After taping it onto a support so that I
could study it and begin the painting, I decided that the
masking tape was going to become a part of the
painting itself.   What do you think - do you think
that it works?

FALLING LEAVES AT FULLER LAKE
Plein Air Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Falling Leaves at Fuller Lake'
Oil on Linen Panel
9 x 12

The day we were to meet at Fuller Lake in Pine
Grove Furnace, the day started out with dark clouds
and drizzle.  Fortunately, the clouds moved out quickly,
and we had a beautiful, sun-drenched day.  The breeze
skittered the leaves across the water and through the
air, and the colors were fantastic!

'Red Leaf'
Oil  6 x 6

Day 62

The leaves are really coming to their color peak here
in Pennsylvania right now.  It seems that everywhere
I go I am picking up the ones that fascinate me because
of their color and/or shape.  This one really caught my
attention because of the shades of red, and those curling
leaves.

PEAR ASCENSION

'Pear Ascension'
Oil  6 x 8
61/100

Day 61

I was beginning to wonder if I should be looking for
Pear Painters Anonymous to deal with my current pear obsession,
but then I was introduced to Pearathon.com by artist
Dana Cooper and all was well.

When you look at this, I rather hope you get the feeling
Sir Isaac Newton did when he developed the theory of
gravity from his observations of an apple falling from a
tree, only in my world it would be a pear.  Bottoms up...or
would it be Bottoms down?

'Final Bow'
Oil  6 x 8
60/100

Day 60

I fear this may be turning into an obsession
with pears...every time I see this pear from a
different angle I am moved to paint it...again.
The leaves are really what pulls me further
into this fascination...they curl; they tease; they whisper
'paint me...'

Here's a picture of all three paintings I have done
from the one pear...with the leaves...

'Leaning Pear II'
Oil  6 x 8

Day 59


No, you are NOT seeing double. Today when I
was up in the studio, I moved the
pear I painted yesterday and 'saw' a whole
new painting. I am just intrigued by
the balance of the leaves and the pear -
it reminds me of a dancer.

LEANING PEAR

'Leaning Pear'
Oil  6 x 8
58/100

Day 58


I've been looking at a pear tree that grows
across the street from my daughter's house, and
admiring the huge pears that grow on that tree.
Yesterday, after getting permission from the
neighbor, I walked over and picked a pear
that had leaves close to the stem.
It made quite a nice model to paint from, and
never tipped over even though it had quite
a lean!

LAST ROSE

'Last Rose'
Oil  6 x 6
57/100

Day 57


The flowers are quickly starting to fade, but this red
rose always hangs in there and gives me flowers until
the first hard frost.  One year I had roses clear up until
December - what a treat!

The container for the rose is the bottom of an old salt
shaker.  I think it made a nice little vase - what do you think?
