On the first morning of painting in the Camp Hill
Plein Air Event, several artists gathered in the
beautiful yard of Cecelia Lyden's neighbor. The
azaleas and dogwoods were in their glory, along with
many other flowers. It was also very nice to finish
up around noon so we could go back to Cecelia's
for a delightful lunch in her gorgeous home
(Thank you, Cecelia!)

UNDER THE ROSE ARBOR
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting

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

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
by Claire Beadon Carnell

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.

SACRE-COEUR BASILICA
An Original Oil Painting

6 x 8

A little study of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica from
my recent trip to Paris, France with my daughter.
On our very first day in Paris, we went up to the
second station of the Eiffel Tower right as the sun was
starting to sink in the sky. The entire city
was bathed in a beautiful golden light - it
was absolutely breath-taking, and an amazing
way to start our adventure in France!
