CHANCE OF RAIN
(Ft. Hunter, Susquehanna River)
Original Plein Air
Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell

'Chance of Rain'
Ft. Hunter, Susquehanna River
Oil on Panel
8 x 16

Last Thursday I painted at Ft. Hunter, along the
Susquehanna River.  The day was overcast, with a chance
of rain in the weather predictions.  I particularly liked this
view of the river that included the receding mountains and
the cloudy sky.  Even in the more subdued tones, there
were still many different colors.

Below is a picture of my painting in progress.

Very nice Claire; are there other paintings in progress too? Looks like one to each side and beneath your easel.
I like the view!

Beautiful Claire! I love the blues and greens in this piece and the peaceful feeling it gives me. What size is this?

Thanks, everyone! Linda, the paintings you see behind my set-up are finished/framed pieces we brought for the group to see as examples of plein air painting.
Christine - this is an 8 x 16 canvas. I was so glad that I brought it with me at the last minute!
