DAY TWO GETTYSBURG FRINGE FESTIVAL Plein Air Event Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

DAY TWO - JUNE 11, 2011

Gettysburg Fringe Festival Plein Air Event

I have been so excited about painting on location at

the Bushman Farm.  It's one of my favorite farms on the

Gettysburg Battlefield, and we were actually able to drive

right down onto the property to paint.  So do I paint the

farmhouse?  No...when I saw the hazy blues and greens

and golds of the view behind the house, I knew where

my easel was going to be set up.  This view actually

shows the Slyder Farm barn and some outbuildings -

another farm I have really wanted to paint. 

Here is my painting in progress, and was painted while standing

in front and to the left of the Bushman farmhouse

(and under a nice big, shady tree).

Once again, the hot sun and haze in the morning hours created some

beautiful colors in the sky and fields.  I also liked the way the

rail fence leads the eye right into the painting.

trees on the Bushman Farm.  Hope you can see the beautiful,

fresh colors in this one!
