This painting is a result from a recent painting
excursion I took to Cape Cod this past September.
I am always fascinated by the patterning of the
marshes, and the way the water weaves
in and out and around the grasses.  What a
perfect place for an egret to visit!

'Susquehanna Passage' can be seen at the
Art & Soul Gallery in Lemoyne, PA.

'Susquehanna Passage'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Susquehanna Passage'
© Claire Beadon Carnell
Oil on linen panel
18 x 24

This is the view from the former offices of
Susquehanna Surgeons on Front Street in
Wormleysburg, PA.  I was with my husband
for the follow-up for some surgery he
had last September, and when I walked into
the waiting room, the view of the river
was breathtaking.  The late afternoon  light
colored the sky and river, and there was a touch
of Autumn starting to show in the foliage.  I got an awful 
photograph of the scene through some really
bug-stained windows, but my visual memory
helped me paint this.

'Susquehanna Passage' can be seen at the
Art & Soul Gallery in Lemoyne, PA.

'A is for Apple'
An Original Oil Painting

Oil on linen panel

I have had some vintage wooden typefaces for
years.  Some are large (6 inches high), and
some are much smaller, and I have always loved
them and wanted to do something with them.
When I got my apples this fall, the idea to
incorporate them into a painting with the
typeface came into mind, and here is the result.

'Great Marshes to Cape Cod Trail'
An Original Oil Painting

Oil
12 x 12

I had never been to Barnstable, MA before, so
my husband and I decided to head in that direction
when we were up there this past September.
We found a treasure...a nature preserve called
the Great Marshes to Cape Cod Trail.  It was a 
very hot day (high 90's), but we hiked in about 2 miles and
saw the most incredible landscape.  Gigantic sand dunes
flanked us on the left, and gorgeous marshes 
were on the right.  It immediately became one
of my favorite places in Cape Cod.

This painting will be on display at the 
Mechanicsburg Art Center in the
Recent Paintings from the Cape exhibit.
The opening reception is December 14,  
6:00 to 8:00 p.m.

This blue crab got washed ashore on the wet sand one 
cloudy morning in Cape Cod.  We had stopped to paint
at a little inlet, and were worried about the 
forecast of rain.  It wasn't rain that chased us away,
it was the rising tide that suddenly appeared two feet
away from where we were painting!

This painting will be on display at the

They say the third time is the charm...
I  have actually painted this scene twice
before, and was so unhappy with the results
that I abandoned the work.  The stubborn streak
in me made me try one more time, and when
I reached the same point of frustration that
I had reached with the previous paintings, I 
decided that I was going to fight through.
I am glad that I stuck with it and FINALLY
got the results that I wanted.

Have you ever been driving somewhere and suddenly
have this irresistible urge to take a different

so glad I followed my instincts this past summer.
Instead of travelling my normal pathway to Hanover,
I decided to take another road and found this 
incredible field of pinkish weeds
cloaked in the morning light.
  
This is why I always carry a camera with me...

Finally, after a week of being home from Cape Cod,
I was able to unload my paintings!  This particular 
painting was painted on Sept. 11, on a very windy day.
I hadn't planned to go to Fort Hill to paint, but 
stopped there so my husband could see what a 
beautiful place it was.  Of course when I saw the
way the wind was blowing the trees and the goldenrod
in the foreground, my muse started to call...
 
While we were there (at about the time the first airplane
 hit the WTC twelve years ago on the same day) 
an older gentleman (a fireman) dressed in full kilt 
walked up to the peak of the hill, and started playing a 
tribute to the victims of 9/11 on his bagpipes.  When
he played 'Amazing Grace', there wasn't a dry
eye to be found...it was profound.
We will never forget.

While in Cape Cod last week, I had gone to

Yesterday I painted up at Kings Gap State Park with
my good friend and fellow artist, Mary Beth Brath.
She had suggested we go there to paint in the
garden, and the moment I started driving up that
long curvy drive to the top of the mountain, I
knew this is just what I needed!   The garden is
gorgeous, and complete with a small pond with
water lilies and frogs.

The zinnias called to me, and when I walked
away from them to look at some of the other
parts of the garden, they just called louder - so
that's what I painted!

Thanks to a friend up on Facebook, I was
made aware that there were rolling hills
of sunflowers being grown by Messiah College
in Grantham, PA. My friend and fellow artist
Pat Koscienski and I went there to paint 
yesterday.  The heavy rains we had the previous
week had beaten up the blossoms a bit, but
it still was an amazing sight to behold.


I did use some artistic license with this and had
the sunflowers facing toward me...for some
reason they were all being shy, and their faces 
were pointing away from us, and toward the sun :)

When I was in elementary school, my
 Great-Aunt Margaret's goal was to teach
me how to spell a new and difficult word
each time I visited her during summer
vacation.  She always made it fun, but didn't
give up until how I learned to spell the word 
she had chosen.   'Conodoguinet' (for the
Conodoguinet Creek that ran through 
Camp Hill, PA) was one of the toughest to 
learn, but I never forgot how to spell it after all
of these years!

I think Great-Aunt Margaret would have
liked that I painted this, and that I remembered
how to spell the name of the creek as well :)

Hello my blog friends!  I have not been posting lately, and have missed all of you.  About three weeks ago I had to have some surgery on the vertebrae in my neck, and I have been in the process of recovering.  Just yesterday I was able to paint again for the first time in four weeks, and it was such a pleasure.

I hope to have some things to post soon, and look forward to catching up with everyone to see what you all have been working on.

This Spring, a friend of mine from my high school days
let me know that her sister lived on an orchard that
was mere miles from my house, and that I was welcome
to go paint there.  I got a great tour from my friend's
sister, and then did a quick study of a view of
the apple trees from the top of a hill.

When I got home, I realized right away that I wanted to
do a larger studio piece, because I loved the
way the blue of the mountains peeked through
the white and soft pink blossoms of the trees.
It is a gorgeous orchard, and hope I can go back
and paint there again next spring!

I found this beautiful Rose Arbor on
St. John's Alley in Camp Hill while painting
in the Camp Hill Plein Air Event.  Everything about
the scene appealed to me except one 
thing - there were no blooms, only rosebuds.
I really wanted to add the roses, and was so
glad when the owner came out to see what
I was painting and I was able to ask her
what color the roses were when they were 
in flower!  That's one of the advantages
of being an artist, you can paint in the roses
even before they have bloomed.

LEREW ROAD SPRINGHOUSE
An Original Oil Painting

Early this Spring, I was driving the back roads
to get to an appointment when it started to snow.
It was delicate and misty, and transformed the
landscape into a fairyland.  I was so glad that I
finished up with my business early because I took
an even less traveled road, rolled down the windows in
my car and took pictures as I drove slowly and
carefully down the road (constantly checking to make sure
no one was behind me).  I know I had a HUGE
smile on my face the entire time!

MORNING MIST
An Original Oil Painting

4 x 4

I have a file on my computer that contains
photographs from a week I spent in Maine
with my daughter and her family.  This tiny
painting is a combination of two photographs,
and mostly memory.  I loved waking up before 
anyone else and sitting along the edge of
the lake watching the sun come up...just me, 
a cup of coffee, and Mother Nature.
