BITS OF LIGHT
An Original Plein Air Oil Painting
by Claire Beadon Carnell


'Bits of Light'
Gettysburg Festival Art Colony  2012
Oil
10 x 8


On the last day of the Gettysburg Festival Artist Colony,
we decided to go to Little Round Top to paint
in the morning light.  It was a beautiful day, and I
really enjoyed painting this area that was directly
to the left of the 12th and 44th New York Infantry
Marker - also called the 'castle'.  I liked the impressionistic
look of the scene, and tried to capture that.

Yes, the light coming through the trees is really lovely.

The overall design, composition, of lights and darks is "right on".
