'Late Afternoon Light'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Late Afternoon Light'

(Roots Cut Flower Farm)

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

11 x 14

I recently attended an event at a local flower farm, and

about a week later I contacted the owner and got
permission to come onto the property to take more photographs.
I chose to go in the late afternoon, when the sun was low
and casting a golden glow on everything. Everywhere I looked,
there was such intense, beautiful color that literally
took my breath away.

I love my job...

'Sunflower Hill'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Sunflower Hill'

Oil on Canvas Panel

12 x 6

An artist friend of mine told me about a sunflower
field that was blooming, and since it was very close
to where my husband and I used to live when we were
first married, we jumped into the car and headed out to take
some pictures. It was a wonderful evening, and so much fun to
see the sunflowers and all of the other places we went to
in our old stomping grounds - lots of memories,
and lots and lots of changes!!!

'Flower Farm Shadows'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Flower Farm Shadows'

Oil on Raymar Panel
12 x 16

I recently attended an event at a local flower farm, and

while there I decided to walk around the property.

When I saw these rows of gorgeous,

colorful flowers, I knew that this was something I

wanted to paint. I was so glad that I had brought

my camera with me...I think this is going to be the

first of a 'few'.

'Drifters'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Drifters'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel
12 x 12

Several years ago when I was painting in Cape Cod,

I found this little inlet with all of these boats resting along

the shoreline (and drifting in the water). I loved the colors

and the light, and knew I would have to paint

them some day!

'Spring Blossoms in Giverny'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Spring Blossoms in Giverny'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel
10 x 8

Yes, I am still painting pieces from my trip to France,
even though the exhibit that shows the major body
of work I created after my trip is hanging on the walls
of the Carlisle Arts Learning Center. I love the pathway
and the layers of spring blossoms in this, and it instantly
takes me back to that morning visiting Giverny.

'Lavender Dreams'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Lavender Dreams'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel
11 x 14

Sometimes ideas for paintings come to me in dreams,

and I've often had dreams of fields of lavender. I enjoyed

recollecting parts of the dream that inspired this painting,

and the peace that filled my heart as I painted.

'Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Lazy, Hazy Days of Summer'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel
9 x 12

I have not published many new paintings recently

because I have been working furiously to create

work for my French Show at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center

this May with fellow artist Donna Barlup.

This is a new painting I created as a result of an online class

I have been taking through the Tuscon Art Academy

with Gabor Zvagrik. It's been an excellent class with an

exceptional teacher, and I LOVE that they give

online critiques of my work.

This is a very small piece of a painting I have been working
on that will be on exhibit at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center
this coming Spring. Although I consider myself to be a landscape
painter, the work I have created for this exhibit has pushed me
in all kinds of new directions, and it has been an incredible experience!

'Winter Sunset'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Winter Sunset'
Oil on Archival Linen Panel
6 x 12

Last weekend, we had a major snow storm, and in

the space of about 24 hours we got between 40 - 42 inches

of snow. After working most of the next couple of days to

help clear the snow from the driveway and the path to my studio,

I came in the house as the light was fading and saw this

spectacular winter sunset from the dining room window.
