'Looking Down at Devil's Den'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Looking Down at Devil's Den'

Oil

18 X 24

When I first decided to paint this view of the
Devil's Den from the Little Round Top
on the Gettysburg Battlefield, I wanted
to portray the land, the beauty of this area
in south central Pennsylvania.
That is why there are no roads, no people, no tour
buses and no monuments. Just the rolling hills and
all of those incredible boulders planted firmly in
the ground. Those rocks and the land hold the true
memories and stories of the Battle at Gettysburg.

'Kings Gap Road'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Kings Gap Road'

Oil on Canvas Panel

8 X 8

I love going up to Kings Gap State Park (PA) any
time of the year, but especially in the Fall when the
leaves are changing color. My daughter took some
photos when she was up there this past week, and
she very graciously allowed me to have one
to crop and paint to my heart's content.

'Autumn Lane'

Oil on Stretched Canvas

A road that I travelled regularly was closed and
I found this wonderful country lane that I
had never travelled before. Each time I am on
it I am transported to a beautiful place with
amazing vistas. This is part of a large farm, and
the fields of soybeans are starting to turn golden
as we enter into Fall.

'Low Tide at Great Rock Bight'

'Low Tide at Great Rock Bight'

Martha's Vineyard, MA

Plein Air

Oil on Canvas Panel

6 X 12

I liked this view of Great Rock Bight Beach so much,
that I decided to paint it again in the afternoon
when the tide was low, and more of the rocks
in the water were visible. I can really
understand why Monet painted his series of paintings.
Painting the same scene
during different times of the day and in varying
light/weather conditions creates a unique picture, as
well as a unique painting experience.

I just came back from a plein air painting jaunt to
Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. I was really looking
forward to painting the marshy areas, and was very
happy to find this marsh in Menemsha at low tide.
Locals who stopped by to talk to me while I was
painting said that this was the lowest they had
ever seen the tide in this area. Lucky me :)

I noticed this Civil War re-enactor when I was
attending Army Heritage Days at the

When I was participating in the Westfield, NY Plein Air Event
a couple of weeks ago, one day I painted on a beautiful
daylily farm with friends and fellow artists Jane Albin

own painting and saw Roberta talking to Jane while
Jane was painting. I quickly grabbed my camera, and

'Midsummer Pastoral'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Midsummer Pastoral'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

14 x 18

This was such a pleasure to paint. The scene
is from a rural area that is close to where we
have our cabin, and because the farms are run
largely by the Amish and Mennonite families, the
hay bales are actually baled with baling wire
instead of plastic. This gives the bales so much
more character, and each one retains its
own 'personality'...perfect for this artist to paint.

On our way back from a day of painting in Cape Cod

It was so quiet and peaceful, and the only sounds
we heard besides the rustle of the drying grasses in the gentle
breeze were the playful calls of some redwing blackbirds.

This painting was done from the vantage point
of Confederate Avenue (before crossing

Pickett's Charge took place, and up to the Codori Farm

to imagine what happened there over 150 years ago.

The weather has not been very co-operative for the

I started out the event painting with my back to the

company while I painted!

One of the most beautiful places I have ever been...
the Nature Preserve at Barnstable, Cape Cod, MA.
It was a blistering hot day, but my husband

one way, but we only got about 2.5 miles in
before we decided to head back.

Although it was HOT, it was a gorgeous day,
and the vistas were incredible. The dunes were on one
side, and the marshlands were on the other. We even
got to see baby Leatherback turtle tracks in the sand.

'Bull's Eye'

Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas

18 x 36

My husband I were driving around Gettysburg, PA
looking for a farm building I had painted, but
we just couldn't remember where it was. On our journey
to find it, we came across a farm with Long Horn cattle.
This majestic bull was right along the side of the road,
and the only thing that separated him from me
was an electric fence. When he started to make noises,
I realized I had better get out of there - but what
really made me move was when he started
to stamp his back hoof on the ground!

An Original Oil Painting

'Remembrance'
Gold Beach, Normandy, France

Oil on stretched canvas

15 x 30

Some of the most memorable places I saw while in France
were the beaches of Normandy. It reminded me so
much of the Civil War battlefields I have visited because
there was such a contrast of exquisite beauty with
the realization of the tragedy and heavy loss of life
that took place here during a war (World War II).

Both my father and my father-in-law were soldiers
in France during the war, and I painted this
in remembrance (and love) of them and all that they
did to preserve our freedoms.

'Song of Spring'

'Song of Spring'

Oil on linen panel

This painting is came about from my longing

for Spring this year, and also a love for these

white and coral 'Salome' daffodils that I

grow in my front flower bed. When I first planted

the bulbs for these, I could not wait until they

bloomed...and was so disappointed when they

did because they had a yellow center instead

turned to happiness after a few days when I

saw that yellow center start to turn. The

garden is always such a magical place!
