Painting along the Susquehanna River in West Fairview, PA

on a beautiful, and very hot July morning... I loved the way

the humidity softened edges and colors, especially on the

capitol building.

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.

This is my twenty third entry for Leslie Saeta's 'Thirty Paintings in

Thirty Days Challenge 2015'. For this challenge, I have
decided to do thirty small studies from my trip last September
to Martha's Vineyard. My hope is that some of these studies
will be worked into larger paintings.

As we got off the ferry to Chappaquiddick and walked

toward the infamous bridge (called Kennedy's car wash

by the natives), I saw this wonderful green boat in

a marshy area - and it was screaming 'Paint Me!'

I am glad that I finally did...

I painted this in thanks to my nephew who

graciously allowed me to use his 'Hill Country' photos

as a source of reference for some paintings

of bluebonnets I am working on. It was so much fun

to paint this old live oak - it had so much character!

'Interlude'

After having a particularly harsh winter, I was really

looking forward to the warmer, sun-filled days

of summer here in the Susquehanna Valley.

However, we have had far more days of rain

than sun, so this particular interlude of

blue skies was especially treasured!

'Rural Delivery'
An Original Oil Painting

Oil on Archival Canvas Panel

I love where we live. It's only hours away from the

big cities like NYC, Baltimore and DC - and the art museums

and big city life. However, I have always been a country

girl at heart, and love that I can find beautiful farms, fields,

cows and chickens only a few hundred feet from my house.

This road leads to Gettysburg in Adams County, and is one

of two paintings I submitted that will be exhibited at the

Adams County Barn Art Show & Sale from June 10 - June 14.

'Bluebells In Spring'
An Original Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

My husband and I were on our way to visit some good
friends when I asked him to take a different path so we
could find a place that one of my students had recommended
as a potential painting spot. We never found that
place, but we did find this gorgeous patch of bluebells
growing along the bank of the creek. You never know what
you will find when you go the 'wrong' way!
