'Winter Apple'
An Original Oil Painting
©2018 Claire Beadon Carnell

'Winter Apple'

Oil on Archival Canvas Panel

8 x 6

This painting was created as part of a five-day challenge

I participated in this past January. Each day we were to create

one painting in 20-30 minutes, and we were allowed to pre-mix

our colors. It was a very good exercise, and a great way to get

a jump-start on painting in the New Year.

'Roadside Flowers'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Roadside Flowers'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

12 x 16

I love to take the back roads when I am traveling somewhere

because often that is where I find something that intrigues

me and calls to me to paint it. I liked the looks of this farm

for a long time, and then one blistering hot summer day I saw

the wildflowers blooming along the side of the road...

'Clouds Over the Codori'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Clouds Over the Codori'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

12 x 16

I have loved Gettysburg ever since I was in the fifth grade,

and our class took a field trip to the battlefield. That love

only increased when I started plein air painting on the

battlefield over ten years ago. The Codori is one of my favorite

farms, and one I have painted multiple times, from different

views, and in different seasons.

'Golden Afternoon'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Golden Afternoon'

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

12 x 16

My husband was driving me around so that I could

get some reference photographs for future paintings.

He was getting tired of driving, so when we drove by this scene

I had to do a drive-by shooting...with my camera! I was

really pleased that some of the photos came out

well enough that they could be used. It was an absolutely

beautiful fall evening, and these fields just glowed with

the warmth of the lowering sun.

'Through the Trees (North Mountain)'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Through the Trees'

(North Mountain)

Oil on Archival Linen Panel

6 x 12

I woke up very early one morning at our cabin (before anyone
else in the cabin was awake), and when I walked out on to the
deck, I was greeted with this amazing display of early morning
Autumn color. A very different color palette for me,
but oh-so-much-fun to paint!

'Late Afternoon Light'
An Original Oil Painting

'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

'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

'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'.
