His artistic journey brought him to Nantasket Beach in 1876, where he created breathtaking masterpieces that continue to captivate audiences today. One of Carlsen's notable works is "Mums in an Oriental Vase, " a mesmerizing oil on canvas painting. The delicate chrysanthemums bloom vibrantly against the backdrop of an intricately designed vase, showcasing Carlsen's attention to detail and ability to capture beauty. In 1913, Carlsen unveiled "The Sky and the Ocean, " another stunning oil on canvas creation. This masterpiece transports viewers into a serene coastal landscape where the sky meets the vast expanse of water. The play of light and shadow evokes a sense of tranquility that only nature can provide. Carlsen's still life compositions were equally remarkable. In his c. 1918 piece aptly titled "Still Life, " everyday objects such as fruits and flowers are transformed into extraordinary subjects through his skilled brushwork. Each element is meticulously arranged, radiating elegance and sophistication. "The Root Cellar" from 1884 showcases Carlsen's ability to infuse ordinary scenes with depth and emotion.
