NAUSET LIGHT
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Nauset Light'
Oil Plein Air
Cape Cod National Seashore,
Eastham, Cape Cod, MA
9 x 12

Because of erosion that has been occurring along the shoreline
of Cape Cod, some of the light houses have been moved
further inland so that they are protected.  The sea was
to the right of this view of Nauset Light, but not
close enough to include in the painting.

I took a walk down to the beaches after finishing this painting
and saw a group of seals playing in the sparkling water!

MORNING AT FORT HILL
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell



'Morning at Fort Hill'
Oil Plein Air
Cape Cod National Seashore,
Eastham, Cape Cod, MA
10 x 20

Finally unpacked the rest of my Cape Cod paintings.
As much as I loved the sea and beach areas, I was
most compelled by the marshes.  This view provided 
a combination of both - with the marshes in the mid-ground,
and a glimpse of the sea in the background.  
Looking at these paintings this morning
filled me with such a longing to go back
to this wonderful place!

I'LL HAVE A SIDE ORDER OF FUNGUS, PLEASE
An Original Oil Painting by
Claire Beadon Carnell




'I'll Have a Side Order of Fungus, Please''
Oil on Canvas
8 x 6


You never know where your inspiration will come from...
I was in the very long, and very slow line of cars at
the Wendy's Drive-In window in Carlisle waiting to
get some of their GF chili for lunch.  As I was getting closer to 
my goal, I saw something in the crotch of the tree that grows
right by the curve that gets you closer to where you
can place your order.  I had to do a double-take,  were those
some small alien ships hovering in the shelter of that tree?  No, it
was three delightful fungi that had attached themselves 
to the tree and were flourishing - must be the Wendy's chili!

I painted this for the DPP Challenge Blog, hosted this month by 
Daily Painters of Pennsylvania Artist Pat Koscienski.

BLUE AND WHITE II
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Blue and White II'
© Claire Beadon Carnell
Oil
9 x 12

A break from the Cape Cod Paintings!   I finished this painting
up in the studio today.  I inherited my love of dishes from
my mother (and her mother), so the desire to collect them
is pretty strong - especially the blue and white ones.
Several years ago I did a large painting of all blue and
white pottery (see below) - this one is smaller and
includes some flowers and grapes.


'Blue and White'

20 x 30

DRY-DOCKED
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Dry-Docked'
Oil Plein Air
Wellfleet Harbour, Wellfleet, Cape Cod, MA
8 x 8

I was looking for something to paint while at the Harbour
in Wellfleet, and when I leaned over the rail of the
pier I saw this peach and blue rowboat pulled up out
of the water.  I really liked the design elements of the
 scene, especially with the cast shadow created by the boat.  
Ralph Hocker (one of the artists who helped
to organize our painting trip to Cape Cod) told me there used to be 
five or six of these rowboats - all the same color, but
apparently this is the only one left.  Sure was glad I found it.

SHINING THROUGH
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Shining Through'
Oil Plein Air
Herring River, Harwich, Cape Cod, MA
8 x 16

The first day of painting was supposed to be at the
Herring River, but as soon as I found my spot to
paint, it started to rain.  When we woke up the
next day to sunshine, we decided to trek back there
to try again.  This is the painting I did in the morning.
I loved the way the sun was shining through the
trees and hitting the marsh grasses.  What a
beautiful place.

VIEW DOWN NAUSET BEACH
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell



'View Down Nauset Beach'
Oil Plein Air
Nauset Beach, Orleans, Cape Cod, MA
6 x 8

I haven't posted up here in awhile because I have been
up in Cape Cod for the past week painting.  Except for the
first day, the weather was gorgeous.  This is a view of 
Nauset Beach, where within minutes of beginning to paint
there was a sighting of two sharks very close to the shoreline.
It's been a big problem down there - warning signs are everywhere.
I thought maybe it was just another art critic...


Here's my set-up right after I finished the painting
