Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Floral with Melon Still Life, 14x18x.75" Oil
Today's art is a workshop painting. I recently attended a 4-day workshp with one of my favorite artists, Elio Camacho. Elio is as good as an instructor as he is as an artist. I would be hard pressed to find another instructor with as much knowledge and one who gave me as much individual attention. Maybe he thought I need the attention more than others....just kidding. Everyone in the class got lots of instruction tailored to their individual needs.
This is my second Elio workshop and I have already signed up for another. I need constant reinforcement to actually put his techniques in practice.
Elio is not an internet artists, but you can find his work on Pinterest. He doesn't allow photos taken of him that expose his face. You will see lots of images of him at the easel, always from behind.
He lives in the Bay area, but travels to Florida in the Spring and Fall of each year to do workshops in several locations here. Workshop information is available on his website here. If you decide to go, you will have a real treat ahead of you, as he is also a very interesting person with a wonderful sense of humor. Enjoy!
Have a great day!

Floral Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Coneflower Painting, 12x16" Original Oil
I seem to be stuck....painting coneflowers! It could be worse.
I have been fascinated by coneflowers (echincea) every since I first saw them in the Blue Ridge Mountains. First, I tried to grow them. Not such good luck. My thumb is only green when I paint.
It's not that they are difficult to grow, but they must be deadheaded. Since I am only in North Carolina for a few weeks at a time, I usually would fine brown flowers. Before they could bloom again, I would be gone.
I added a few dandelions and a fiddlehead. Hope you enjoy this piece.
Thank you for viewing my art today.

Dog Painting, Pet Portrait, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x10" Oil Painting, SOLD
Today's post features a commission I was asked to do. My customer wanted a large print of the family pet to give as a gift to her daughter. She sent me several images of her dog Bennett.
Of course, I could not do a print, without an original painting, so we decided on a 8x10" oil.
She chose what I considered the worst image. She wanted a horizontal painting and the image was vertical. She didn't want the background to be too strong and in the image, the right eye of the dog was in such deep shadow, it was practically invisible. But........she felt this image captured the spirit of her pet. We made it work!
She was thrilled with the final image and now she owns the original and her daughter has the large print.
Commissions can often be difficult. It is hard to get in the head of your client, and translate their expectations to canvas and paint. When it happens...it's a thing of beauty!

A Chunky, Textured, Colorful Piece of Art That Makes Me Smile, Abstract Landscape, 8x8x3" Oil Painting
Today is gray, foggy and damp, so I decided to post the most fun painting I could find.
 | |
 I painted it on a 8x8x3" canvas, so even the shape is unique. It's chunky and cute and it resides on a bookshelf , where it brightens the whole room. I cannot help but smile each time I look at it. The canvas was a mistake. I did not realize how deep it was when I ordered it. What could I possibly do with it? Well, for this painting, I think it is perfect! Have a fantastic day!

Panoramic Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Impressionist Seascape, 8x16x.75" Oil
I am trying to break my current addiction to painting flowers, so I dug through my files and found a great image of the ocean. I have a new (for me) size canvas, 8x16" that I thought would work well for the image.
I have to admit, I enjoyed painting this scene. My choices of subject matter are always based on emotion and on this day......the waves filled my need for action.
Thanks for reading my blog today....If I were in Florida, I'd be off to the beach.

Art and Fashion
Several months ago, I was contacted by an Israeli fashion designer, Assaf Pelleg. He was designing his 2017 Spring/Summer Line, and wanted to use one of my paintings in his work. I agreed to work with him, and we found two of my artworks that were of interest to him.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.
I am thrilled with the results!
This is the fun part of what I do. I sometimes struggle for days, over a specific artwork. Just this week, I have worked on a piece for 3 days, and scrapped it this morning! Then there are the boring hours, after hours, of internet work. Taking photos, editing them, posting them. Sometimes it seems the reward, is not enough to justify the effort.
But then, one day, a painting effortlessly falls off my brush, or a student sends me his power point presentation about how he was influenced by my art, or someone on the other side of the world, likes my work enough to place it in his collection.
That is the payoff!
Thanks for reading my blog today!

It gets tricky trying to photograph wildlife. This time I got lucky. This Great Blue Heron was very calm as I walked very close to him and started clicking away. He had his eye on the fishermen's catch and was willing to put up with me.
I have been working hard on color interaction and am pleased with the color on this work.

It brings back memories of a trip I took to New Orleans last year. We spent the day driving through the surrounding countryside and toured two plantations that bordered the Mississippi levy.
As you can imagine, the grounds were stunning, but I couldn't help but think of the slaves who toiled there.

I painted using both a brush and palette knife. I love the texture a palette knife brings to a piece. I think it adds so much interest.

Sunflower still life, 14x18" Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
I have retuned home from another exciting workshop with Elio Camacho. I went to work right away, trying to imprint his wisdom on my brain.
I worked hard on this one, trying to retain the bold brushwork and saturated color that makes his technique special. I think it is a good start for me, but I have lots of area for improvement.
Practice makes perfect. I am pretty sure he would tell me to make the flower on the table look less like a flower and more like paint.

Old English Sheepdog Painting, Pet Portrait, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil by CarolSchiffStudio
I always loved a good shaggy dog story...so naturally I had to paint this one.
I found it a little difficult to get the sketching correct as this guy is all fur. Thanks to my friend, Ted Fuhrer, for allowing me to use another of his fine photographic images.
I put a few impasto details in the face.
This image is also avaiable as a giclee print in several sizes here.

Small Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Beach Music" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil
Living close to the sea, it is no surprise that I paint a lot of seascapes. The sea and mountains have one thing in common....they never look the same from day to day or even minute to minute. Fascinating and beautiful!
Life gets busy and sometimes I don't visit the beach for months at a time. When I finally get there, it is like visiting an old friend. I always vow to get back more often.
