Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Autumn Landscape, Daily Art, "Tree on Fire", 8x10x1.5" Oil
Autumn in the mountains is where I want to be. Last year, I was very lucky to spend two months there.
I was inspired to paint this one from the ever evolving show I saw each day. It brings back childhood memories of northern Ohio and Michigan.....minus the mountains, of course.
What more could I ask for? It gets better and better each day. Of course, in the mountains it seems the color is climbing to the sky.
One evening we spied a herd of Elk in the meadow. You can hear them bellowing in the woods this time of year.They come down to the meadows to feed at dusk and dawn.. This herd was one make and about 30 females.
As much as I love it there, I was ready to head south to Florida when the weather got cold. When the trees are stripped bare, and the cold winds are blowing, I enjoy the beautiful beaches. Life is good!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

Small Seascape with Sunrise Painting, Textured Palette Knife Art, 6x8" Oil Seascape SOLD
Today I am posting one of my favorite subjects, the beach!
In my opinion, one of the best reasons to live in Florida, is to be able to grab a cup of coffee, and head for the beach to see the sunrise.
The beach is usually empty....maybe I will see a lone fisherman. For the most part, only the birds are there to keep you company. It is so serene and calming. The perfect way to start your day. I cannot think of a better way to spend an early morning hour.
I hope you have a wonderful day today!

Flower Painting, Iris Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" on Canvas Panel
I spent most of the spring in the mountains of North Carolina, surrounded by flowers everywhere. They must have the perfect environment for flowers, and I loved every minute of it. This is one of the beautiful iris' I photographed during my stay.
I had a difficult time getting this painting to the finishing point, but turns out, my real struggle was in trying to get a decent photograph of it. I find that blues and greens tend me merge when photographed, especially blues. I took many photos of this painting, under different conditions, but I believe many of the subtle color changes were lost. Note to self: Don't do blue and green paintings, and don't do very dark paintings.....also impossible (for me) to photograph well.
In any event, thanks for viewing my art today.

Flower Palette Knife Painting, Hydrangea Painting,Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Textured Floral
While everyone is running around, with thoughts of turkey on their minds, I sit at the computer, remembering my lovely garden from last summer. Hydrangea is always a favorite for me.
I painted with a palette knife, and left it very impressionistic, almost abstract. I wanted to highlight the colors and not the form.
I have been struggling with my oils for several months now, but I was happy with the results on this piece, which has given me hope.
Thank you for viewing my blog today and I wish you all a HAPPY TURKEY DAY.

Abstract Giclee Print, Daily Painting, Teal and Green Abstract
I have been in an experimental mood lately. My oils have been gathering dust as I pour acrylics and alcohol inks.
 | |
| Purchase here
This piece is done on yupo paper, which really isn't paper at all, but a very slick plastic type of surface favored by watercolorists. It is an alcohol ink piece.
The original is not available, but I am offering this as a giclee print in several sizes.
We are in the process of moving and my mind seems scattered these days. I will try to continue to post during the process, but please bare with me. Eventually, we will be settled and my posts will become more regular.
Have a great day!

Impressionist Fruit Still Life, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10x1.5" Oil on Gallery Wrap Canvas
In a blatant attempt to get away from flower paintings, today I am posting a still life of fruit,
I have been accused of having to many grayed down hues in my art, so recently, I an trying to focus on more vibrant color....no more pasty pastels!
I would like to report, that my tube of white paint is lasting longer, but it is too soon to tell.
Regardless, I am pleasently surprised with the color I achieved here, so hopefully I am on the right track.
Thanks for reading my blog today, and a special thank you to all who have supported my art and my blog with their purchases.

Daily Painting, Oil, Animal, Sheep, 8x10
My friend, Donna Vines, took a trip to Northern England earlier this year. She was kind enough to share her photos with me. I have painted several of them and I could not resist this small lamb walking the moor.
I painted with palette knife and brush and tried to get lots of texture in it. I liked the rugged feel. I have never been on the moors, but I think they would feel rugged and cold and windy.
I painted a ram a few months ago, which I like to think is this lamb's daddy. You can view it here
Have a wonderful week!

Small Seascape, Daily Painting,, Small Oil Painting, "Favorite Beach", 6x8" Oil
Few things in life are as soothing to me as watching clouds move over the mountains. Walking on the beach is one of those things. What is it about these scenes that makes them so appealing?
Is it the endless repetition? Rather hypnotising, don't you think? Maybe it is the everlasting beauty of the scenes.....the permanence.
I don't have the answer, but I know I know I enjoy painting the scenes almost as much as being there, taking a deep breath of that sea breeze or crisp mountain air.
Enjoy the day....whereever you are!

Birthday Flowers!!
Way back in December, my son and his wife sent me some beautiful flowers for my birthday. The first thing I did was photograph them. Then I forgot about the photos!
I finally found them last week, and decided to try my hand at one. I am very intimidated by flowers. They seem so complex and I rarely meet that sweet spot between too little or too much detail. I am not so sure about this one, but I do like the colors.
Try, try and try again!

Animal Oil Painting, "DUCKS GALORE" by Carol Schiff, 12x24" Oil. SOLD
A very nice lady from Alabama sent me images of her family's six black ducks, along with a request that I paint them for her.
www.CarolSchiffStudio.Etsy.com
 |
| SOLD |
Actually, the images only had five ducks. One of the ducks had gone to ducky heaven and she wanted to include him (her) too. I liked this image because all the ducks were looking in one direction. I added the missing duck on the end, as though he had reappeared and the others were greeting him back into the flock.
If you relate to the missing duck...I hope you find your flock soon :)
