'Winter Sunset'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Winter Sunset'
Oil on Archival Linen Panel
6 x 12

Last weekend, we had a major snow storm, and in

the space of about 24 hours we got between 40 - 42 inches

of snow. After working most of the next couple of days to

help clear the snow from the driveway and the path to my studio,

I came in the house as the light was fading and saw this

spectacular winter sunset from the dining room window.

'Fall Farm Lane'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Fall Farm Lane'
Oil on Linen Panel
6 x 12

We have had one of the most beautiful Fall seasons

this year. The color has been gorgeous, and the leaves have

seemed to hold on a little longer than usual. All of this was

the inspiration for this new little painting.

This painting will be available at the Carlisle Arts Learning Center

in Carlisle, PA.

'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.

'Autumn on the Henry Spangler Farm'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Autumn on the Henry Spangler Farm'
Oil on gessoed hardboard
6 x 12

Last Fall, after I got off work at the gallery
(shameless plug - The Drawing Room Gallery, LLC) - I
drove around the Gettysburg National Military Park and
took pictures of some of my favorite places in all
of their Autumn glory. Here is a painting
I just finished of one of those places...

'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.

'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.

'The Codori Farm and Little Round Top'
Paintings of the Gettysburg National Military Park
Gettysburg Festival Plein Air Event 2014
Original Plein AIr Oil Paintings
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'The Codori Farm and Little Round Top'

Oil Plein Air

6 x 12

This painting was done from the vantage point
of Confederate Avenue (before crossing
over the Emmitsburg Road), looking across the fields where
Pickett's Charge took place, and up to the Codori Farm
and Little Round Top. Such a peaceful place...hard
to imagine what happened there over 150 years ago.

My paintings will be on display at the Alumni House

at Gettysburg College until Monday, June 16, 2014,

and then they will be on display at the

Adams County Council of the Arts until the end of June.

These two commissioned firefly paintings were

'Late Summer Garden' (Kings Gap)
An Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Late Summer Garden'
(Kings Gap, PA)

Oil
Plein Air

6 x 12

Yesterday I painted up at Kings Gap State Park with
my good friend and fellow artist, Mary Beth Brath.
She had suggested we go there to paint in the
garden, and the moment I started driving up that
long curvy drive to the top of the mountain, I
knew this is just what I needed! The garden is
gorgeous, and complete with a small pond with
water lilies and frogs.

The zinnias called to me, and when I walked
away from them to look at some of the other
parts of the garden, they just called louder - so
that's what I painted!

6 x 12

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!
