FLOWERS FROM MY GARDEN
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting

12 x 9

I picked these flowers from my garden early
yesterday morning so that I could take them
to the annual student show that I hold for
all of my students to display the beautiful
work they have done over the past year.

They were so pretty that I decided to do
a plein air painting of them this afternoon right on the
deck of my studio. This is the result of a little
over two hours of work. I need to do a bit more
in the studio, but was happy with what
I was able to accomplish in that period of time.

While I was painting along Cedar Run last

month, I got to meet this charming (and quite

handsome) rooster. It took awhile for him to

pose for me, but when he did I was very

happy with the results. It was obvious that all

of the hens in the coop thought he was quite

a handsome boy too!

APPLE TREES ON THE HILL

This Spring, a friend of mine from my high school days
let me know that her sister lived on an orchard that
was mere miles from my house, and that I was welcome
to go paint there. I got a great tour from my friend's
sister, and then did a quick study of a view of
the apple trees from the top of a hill.

When I got home, I realized right away that I wanted to
do a larger studio piece, because I loved the
way the blue of the mountains peeked through
the white and soft pink blossoms of the trees.
It is a gorgeous orchard, and hope I can go back
and paint there again next spring!

This painting is of the woods up by our cabin.

The leaves were spectacular last fall,

and I loved the way the light was dancing

across the brilliantly colored leaves.

On the first morning of painting in the Camp Hill
Plein Air Event, several artists gathered in the
beautiful yard of Cecelia Lyden's neighbor. The
azaleas and dogwoods were in their glory, along with
many other flowers. It was also very nice to finish
up around noon so we could go back to Cecelia's
for a delightful lunch in her gorgeous home
(Thank you, Cecelia!)

UNDER THE ROSE ARBOR
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting

8 x 10

I found this beautiful Rose Arbor on

St. John's Alley in Camp Hill while painting

in the Camp Hill Plein Air Event. Everything about

the scene appealed to me except one

thing - there were no blooms, only rosebuds.

I really wanted to add the roses, and was so

glad when the owner came out to see what

I was painting and I was able to ask her

what color the roses were when they were

in flower! That's one of the advantages

of being an artist, you can paint in the roses

even before they have bloomed.

LEREW ROAD SPRINGHOUSE
An Original Oil Painting

6 x 8

Early this Spring, I was driving the back roads
to get to an appointment when it started to snow.
It was delicate and misty, and transformed the
landscape into a fairyland. I was so glad that I
finished up with my business early because I took
an even less traveled road, rolled down the windows in
my car and took pictures as I drove slowly and
carefully down the road (constantly checking to make sure
no one was behind me). I know I had a HUGE
smile on my face the entire time!

MORNING MIST
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

photographs from a week I spent in Maine

with my daughter and her family. This tiny

painting is a combination of two photographs,

and mostly memory. I loved waking up before

anyone else and sitting along the edge of

the lake watching the sun come up...just me,

a cup of coffee, and Mother Nature.

SACRE-COEUR BASILICA

A little study of the Sacre-Coeur Basilica from
my recent trip to Paris, France with my daughter.
On our very first day in Paris, we went up to the
second station of the Eiffel Tower right as the sun was
starting to sink in the sky. The entire city
was bathed in a beautiful golden light - it
was absolutely breath-taking, and an amazing
way to start our adventure in France!
