Facebook reminded me of the "Haring Hare" today. He sold a few years back but I remember so enjoying painting him :-)

Cat Painting, Animal Portrait, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x6 Original Oil
I always enjoy painting animals, so it is no surprise, that when I hosted a photo contest, on my facebook page, I chose a kitten, as the winner.
I asked readers, to inspire me, by sending in their favorite images. The winner received a giclee print of the finished painting.
I had so much fun, that I am thinking of holding this contest monthly. Check out my facebook page,
Carol Schiff Studio, and join in the fun.

Dog Painting, Pet Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x10" Oil on Canvas
My neighbor Ellen, commissioned me to do paintings of her two fur babies.
 |
In some ways, it is more difficult to paint a pet, because the owner is so hyper aware of every little aspect of their beloved animal. This little guy had hair that stood up straight on top of his head, and super long eyelashes. The owner looked for that in the portrait, as well as all the color variations of the animal. She pronounced it a good likeness.....whew!

"Shelly Sheep" by Lynda Cookson
Shelly the sheep was a daft animal who lived in the fields next to our house in Ireland. She would occasionally find a way to go AWOL from her field and come and stare me out through my studio window, slobbering on the glass. She had that wonderful, bossy stare that those black-faced sheep seem to know how to do so well!

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!

"Shorn Alpaca. Where's My Fleece?" by Lynda Cookson
There are a couple of Alpaca farms, that I know of, here in Brittany ... and what beautiful animals they are. So full of character - and attitude! This painting was inspired by a very recently shorn Alpaca whose indignance you can see in her eyes.
"Shorn Alpaca. Where's My Fleece" is available on Etsy. Just click the image.

CHRISTMAS KITTY, 8X10, OIL, SOLD
My daughter-in-law is a big time animal advocate, so none of us were surprised a few years ago when she brought this little kitten home from her job at a local vets. office. The kitten was born to a feral cat. She fed it with an eyedropper and soon Frankie was spunky and ruled the roost. She also had a fascination with the Christmas tree and would climb it and bat at the glass balls. Many ornaments bit the dust that year.

Daily Painting, Underwater Painting, Key Largo Sea Turtle, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil
I am still working on my Coral Reef Series. This is #4. I tried to capture the glorious colors of the area and the relaxing, tranquil atmosphere. This piece was painted using both brush and palette knife. The 1.5" deep sides are painted a dark value, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.
I hope you are enjoying this series as much as I am. Thanks for reading by blog today.

Daily Painting, "Bunny", 6x8, Oil
My youngest grandson was visiting our home when he spied this rabbit in our yard. He and his Mom are really big animal lovers.
So, when we found this rabbit, I grabbed the camera and got out of the way. Trevor managed to get a very nice shot of it through the window.
He was very excited when I surprised him with this little painting, and today, it hangs in a place of honor in his bedroom.

Elephant in Grays Original Oil Painting by Hallie Kohn
I have been on an elephant and octopus kick, painting larger again too. Just when I think I've found my niche, I'm off in another direction! Just enjoying the ride!
This one was painted on a black gessoed canvas, like most things I've been doing lately. Nice and loose with fun bits of the black peeking through.
20x24 on 7/8" gallery wrapped canvas

Looking Ahead, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.
