SUNNY JEWELS IN JEWEL TEA An Original Pastel Painting by Clare Klaum

This Summer Several of our Plein Air Painters (Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters) had a paint out at the Sunflower Fields on Woods Drive.  They were planted by Sophia from Sophia's on Walden and Sophia on Market restaurants.  You could pick them, take photos, paint and just enjoy the view. 
I did a Plein Air painting but also decided to do a still life with them.  I used my Mother in-laws antique Jewel Tea Pitcher and creamer as they went well with the Sunflowers.  I took photos and worked from them as it took a few weeks to complete this painting.  The image is 12" x 16" and it is a Pastel done on U-Art sanded paper.  It is double matted with acid free mats and framed in a dark brown wood frame with UV glass and spacers. The framed size is 19" x 23 1/2". It will be in CALC's (Carlisle Arts Learning Center) sales gallery and is available for purchase.

CHERRY TREE LANE An Original Pastel Painting by Clare Klaum

This is one of my newest creations.  I have admired these Cherry trees for several years, but always seemed to miss their peak bloom.  This year I caught them at just  the right time and took several photos. I chose this view that I took at 6pm with long shadows.  This is a Pastel painting on U-Art sanded paper. The image size is 15 1/2" x 23 1/2".  The framed size is 32 1/2" x 24 1/2".  It is double matted with acid free mats, UV glass and spacers in a Cherry wood frame.  It is currently in the Sales Gallery at Carlisle Arts Learning Center (CALC) and is available for purchase.

STARGAZER LILIES An Original Pastel Painting by Clare Klaum

Several years ago I was at a Plein Air paint out  with the Susquehanna Valley Plein Air Painters at Fort Hunter. .  My subject of choice that day was the Ice House beside the Mansion.  I always take several photos around the location for future studio paintings.  The Stargazer Lillies were blooming in the gardens near  the Ice House and caught my attention.  The Stargazer Lillie was one of my daughters favorite flowers  and she had them in her wedding bouquet!  This painting will be for sale and included in my
Solo Exhibit at the John Simpson Public Library in Mechanicsburg for the month of June. 
I also have an exhibit and sale of my framed prints at Juice & Java in Mechanicsburg  for May and June.
