'Conodoguinet Reflections'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Conodoguinet Reflections'
© Claire Beadon Carnell
Oil
12 x16

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 :)

This is one of the most beautiful places I have
ever visited, and the Serpentine holds special
memories of my first kayak adventure!
This is the Serpentine at dusk, with a softer
light and a path of water lilies inviting
you to enter.

At Long Last, Back to Plein Air
'MOONFLOWERS'
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Moonflowers'

Plein Air
Oil
12 x 9

I have not been able to get out to paint en plein air
in ages, so when a friend called me this afternoon to let
me know that the moonflowers were blooming in
the shade of her shed,  I packed up a minimal 
amount of supplies and went up to paint.  
I liked the soothing palette of colors, and the relatively
simple design of this scene...and of course 
those wonderful flowers.  It's good to be getting
back to normal!

OFF THE GRID FOR AWHILE
Claire Beadon Carnell
Original Oil Paintings

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.

Here's a glimpse of the start of an underpainting for a new painting that I just started this afternoon...

 Over the many years that I have lived in this
area, I must have passed this farm thousands of
times on my way home.  As each season has passed,
I have vowed to paint it.  I am glad I finally
got busy and did it!

APRIL SHOWERS
An Original Oil Painting

'April Showers'

14 x 11

 'April showers bring May flowers...'
I have often thought that the rain gives a
certain richness to color.  In this case, a light
April Shower brought out the colors in the
wet stone path, as well as heightened
the color of those Virginia bluebells.
When I saw this scene at my yoga instructor's
studio, I knew it just had to be painted!

FLOWERS FROM MY GARDEN
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting

12 x 9

 I picked these flowers from my garden early
yesterday morning so that I could take them
to the annual student show that I hold for
all of my students to display the beautiful
work they have done over the past year.

They were so pretty that I decided to do
a plein air painting of them this afternoon right on the
deck of my studio.   This is the result of a little
over two hours of work.  I need to do a bit more
in the studio, but was happy with what
I was able to accomplish in that period of time.

HEY, GOOD LOOKIN'

While I was painting along Cedar Run last
month, I got to meet this charming (and quite
handsome) rooster.  It took awhile for him to
pose for me, but when he did I was very
happy with the results.  It was obvious that all
of the hens in the coop thought he was quite
a handsome boy too!

APPLE TREES ON THE HILL
An Original Oil Painting

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!
