'Through the Gate'
(Martha's Vineyard, MA)
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Through the Gate'

(Martha's Vineyard, MA)

Oil

14 X 11

While exploring Martha's Vineyard this past
Summer, I found this partly open gate that
led to a path of Queen Anne's Lace, Black-Eyed
Susans and Purple Clover. If only all of the gates
we had to pass through in this life were so inviting!

'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.

'Order Out of Chaos'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Order Out of Chaos'

Oil

8 X 10

One of my students gave me an abandoned
catbird nest she found in her yard because
she knows how much I love to paint nests.

It was such a wonderful gift - thank you
Carolyn Cline!

'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'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Autumn Lane'

Oil on Stretched Canvas

6 X 12

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.

'Long Point Wildlife Refuge'
Martha's Vineyard, MA
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Long Point Wildlife Refuge'

Martha's Vineyard, MA

Plein Air

Oil on Linen Panel

9 X 12

As I have been posting my paintings from my
trip to Martha's Vineyard, each one takes me back
to the beautiful scenery on the island, the wonderful
colors of the land and the see, and the amazing time
I had painting with good friends. It was an experience
I will remember and treasure forever.

'Low Tide at Great Rock Bight'
Martha's Vineyard, MA
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'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.

'Low Tide at Menemsha'

An Original Oil Painting

'Low Tide at Menemsha'

Dutcher's Dock

Martha's Vineyard, MA

Plein Air

Oil on Canvas Panel

12 X 9

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 just came back from a plein air painting jaunt to
Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The weather
was beautiful, the scenery was sublime...so many wonderful
things to paint. This one I did on Friday. The trail to
get there was long and steep, but what a treat it
was to see what was waiting for me at the end of
that trail!
