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.

'Looking Down at Devil's Den' An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

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.

My husband and I like to go on random drives,
arbitrarily selecting which way to turn.  Invariably,
we find the most amazing places and people
this way.  I have always found the backroads
to be the most interesting places to travel.

This painting is currently on exhibit in the
Carlisle Arts Learning Center
Annual Members Show

'Susquehanna Passage' An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

Oil on linen panel

18 x 24

This is the view from the former offices of

Susquehanna Surgeons on Front Street in

Wormleysburg, PA.  I was with my husband

for the follow-up for some surgery he

had last September, and when I walked into

the waiting room, the view of the river

was breathtaking.  The late afternoon  light

colored the sky and river, and there was a touch

of Autumn starting to show in the foliage.  I got an awful 

photograph of the scene through some really

bug-stained windows, but my visual memory

helped me paint this.

'Susquehanna Passage' can be seen at the

Art & Soul Gallery in Lemoyne, PA.

This painting depicts one of my absolute favorite farms, which is

close to where I live.  When I drive by here, I often have to 

pull over just to admire the contours of the land, and

the way one hill slopes into another. I hope that you get

the warm feel of the sun that I was attempting to paint, 

especially today with the cold winter wind blowing!

SOLD ARABESQUE An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

I have been playing with composition with the last few
still life paintings I have done, and with this one I tried to
push it as far as it would go and still work.  I had SO much fun
working on it, and it didn't hurt that it combines
deep pink tulips in one of my favorite vases - a
Fenton Cranberry Opalescent hobnail.

SPRING MORNING ON LITTLE ROUND TOP Gettysburg National Military Park An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

 'Spring Morning on Little Round Top'

Gettysburg National Military Park

Oil on stretched canvas

Yes, I am still painting rocks...can't resist them!  This is done
from notes, sketches and photos I took while up at

Little Round Top at the Gettysburg National Military Park
earlier this Spring when the redbuds were blooming.  I
loved the way the morning sun was working its way
up over the rocks.
