SOLD 'Misty Morning Train' Rockville Bridge, Susquehanna River Harrisburg, PA An Original Oil Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Misty Morning Train'
Rockville Bridge on the Susquehanna River
Harrisburg, PA
Oil on Linen Panel
12 x 16

I set out one morning to get some photographs of
a few of my favorite bridges across the
Susquehanna River.  I loved the softness that the
morning mist created, and was so fortunate that
a train crossed over the Rockville Bridge while I was there!

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

'Susquehanna Passage'

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.

I painted this view of the Susquehanna River last

The soft morning haze made for some beautiful
color.

MORNING CLOUDS AT AMITY HALL Plein Air Painting by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Morning Clouds at Amity Hall'

Oil  9 x 12

Last week we had a beautiful morning to paint along the

shore of the Susquehanna River at Amity Hall.  The weather

was cool and breezy, and while our group (Susquehanna Valley

Plein Air Painters) was there we saw a bald eagle, egrets, several

great blue herons and an osprey.  Hmmm... doesn't take much

to figure out why I love plein air painting!

Portrait of Jenna 9 X 12 Oil on linenAlmost done!

I think I am almost finished with my portrait of Jenna for the Wet Canvas Portrait Swap. We are working from photographs, so I really checked some measurement and did some refinements and feel that I have gotten a better likeness of her. Will put this out of sight until the middle of next week, then I will give it another look to see what else needs to be done. This has really been a great learning experience, and also a lot of fun!

This is a very old railroad bridge that spans the Susquehanna River in Harrisburg, PA. It is just upriver from my previous post 'Early Fall Along the Susquehanna'. I was lucky enough to see a train crossing the bridge while I was taking reference photographs for this painting. I actually took the photos while we were crossing the river over the George Wade Bridge, and was amazed that the pictures came out so well!

Yesterday I painted this picture of the Susquehanna River and the George Wade Bridge. The leaves were just beginning to change, so it was nice to have spots of bright color in the large areas of green. The receding blues were really attractive, and I enjoyed playing with the colors and values to get the depth in this one.
