REMEMBERING SUMMER
Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Remembering Summer'
Oil
20 x 16

This Summer, we had the pleasure of going to Port Royal, PA
to paint on the farm of Eric and Nancy Olson.   Before leaving,
we were allowed to take some of these gorgeous  sunflowers
home with us.  I took mine up to my studio, plopped them into
this old half-gallon canning jar and took loads of pictures for
when I would have time to paint this remembrance of summer.

I love sunflowers and you painted this beautifully. Putting them in this jar was a wonderful idea.

What is it about sunflowers, they are so alluring! I just love them and never tire of them, this is a great composition and representation of them! Love the jar!

I love the rusticity of this piece and the dot of light blue in the surface of the water is perfection and a perfect example of why you are such an amazing artist, Claire. Beautiful!

Thank you, Hilda. I find that when I bring flowers in from the garden I usually put them in old milk bottles or canning jars - just like the way they look.

Claire Beadon Carnell said...

Padmaja, your comment really put a smile on my face - Thank you!

Thank you, Azra - we have been having some great weather here, but looks like it is going to get really 'Winter-like' by the end of the week. I will be glad to have these sunflowers to look at to remember the warmth of summer!

Thanks so much, Diana. I really appreciate the comment about the composition because I put a lot of thought into placement of that jar especially.

You're making me blush, Sherry. Thank you!
