LINE DANCE
by Claire Beadon Carnell



"Line Dance"
Oil 20 X 24

I am fascinated by clothes hanging on a clothesline,
and this particular porch line in Lancaster County
was no exception. I could not believe my luck at coming across
the array of Amish clothing, the quilt, and even some cats on
the front porch. Add the shadows from the late
afternoon sun, and I knew it had to be a painting!

If you would like to see more of my work, please
feel free to go to my web or my blog. Thanks!
