'Gossip Girls'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Gossip Girls'
Oil on Archival Linen Panel
6 x 12

I love the sunny faces of sunflowers, and because
they are almost always grown in patches it seems as though
they have their own little community...one where everyone 
knows everyone else...and everyone also knows everyone 
else's business!

This painting was done with a limited palette of
Prussian Blue, Alizarin Crimson, Cadmium Lemon
Yellow and White.  I also used an underpainting mixture
of Ultramarine Blue to block in the dark abstract shapes,
and I really like how bits of it peek through.

'Southern Sunflowers'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Southern Sunflowers'
Oil on Archival Linen Panel
12 x 16

Last Summer, my husband and I took the Auto Train down
to Florida to attend a wedding, and then drove back so
that we could stop and visit family and explore some of the Southern
states on our way home.
We were driving through Georgia when I spotted an old
barn and fields of sunflowers, and knew it would be so much
 fun to paint - and it was - wish you could see the texture of the paint!

'Weeping Willow'
(Children's Lake, Boiling Springs, PA)
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting

I grabbed my pochade box to get ready to go
painting this morning, and remembered that I had never
removed this plein air painting I had done last week at
Children's Lake in Boiling Springs.  That day at the lake was a perfect 
Summer's  day, with ducks and their babies, geese and swans
out on the lake...but this beautiful old willow is what caught my eye.  

Imagine how many children this old tree has seen feeding the
ducks over the years!

'Through the Trees'
Rockville Bridge, Harrisburg, PA
An Original Oil Painting

I absolutely love painting along water, and especially
 the Susquehanna River here in Pennsylvania.  When I am
there I often take lots of photos as reference for future work.
This is one that I have been wanting to paint for over three years...
and is of a glimpse of my favorite Rockville Bridge
through the foliage of trees and wild plants.

I apologize for the glare - it is just off my easel.

Painting along the Susquehanna River in West Fairview, PA
on a beautiful, and very hot July morning...  I loved the way
the humidity softened edges and colors, especially on the
capitol building.

'Deep in the Heart of Texas'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

When it comes to flowers, without a doubt the blue
ones are my favorite.  In my garden here in Pennsylvania
I treasure my false indigo, russian sage, and Virginia bluebells.
 My nephew took some photographs of the wonderful
 bluebonnets in the Hill Country of Texas,
and I am so grateful that he allowed me to use some of
them as reference material to paint these hills of blue.

'The Green Boat'

This is my twenty third entry for Leslie Saeta's 'Thirty Paintings in
Thirty Days Challenge 2015'.  For this challenge, I have
decided to do thirty small studies from my trip last September
to Martha's Vineyard.  My hope is that some of these studies
will be worked into larger paintings.

As we got off the ferry to Chappaquiddick and walked
toward the infamous bridge (called Kennedy's car wash
by the natives), I saw this wonderful green boat in
a marshy area - and it was screaming 'Paint Me!'
I am glad that I finally did...

I painted this in thanks to my nephew who
graciously allowed me to use his 'Hill Country' photos
as a source of reference for some paintings 
of bluebonnets I am working on.  It was so much fun
to paint this old live oak - it had so much character!

'Interlude'
An Original Oil Painting

After having a particularly harsh winter, I was really
looking forward to the warmer, sun-filled days 
of summer here in the Susquehanna Valley.
However, we have had far more days of rain
than sun, so this particular interlude of
blue skies was especially treasured!

'Rural Delivery'
An Original Oil Painting

I love where we live.  It's only hours away from the
big cities like NYC, Baltimore and DC - and the art museums
and big city life.  However, I have always been a country
girl at heart, and love that I can find beautiful farms, fields, 
cows and chickens only a few hundred feet from my house.

This road leads to Gettysburg in Adams County, and is one 
of two paintings I submitted that will be exhibited at the 
Adams County Barn Art Show & Sale from June 10 - June 14.
