Daily Painting | Oil Landscape | Garden Painting | The Walk to Freedom by Carol Schiff | 24x30x1.5 Oil
![]() |
| purchase here 1095. + shipping |
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.
| detail |
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.

Abstract Expressionist Palette Knife Art Painting “The Conversation“ by International Abstract Artist Kimberly Conrad
14"x11" Palette Knife Acrylic on 140 lb Watercolor Paper.
Frames beautifully in a standard 11'x14" frame from your local frame, art or craft shop, no custom framing expense.
$117 Purchase HERE
"The Conversation" was my painting for Day #12 in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge I am doing with fellow artist Leslie Saeta.
So here is my theme for the challenge this year......This past year I redecorated my dining room, and collected artwork in various styles by my favorite artists from around the world, but all in a similar color palette and the result was lovely.
Actually, it all began with a beautiful painting of a woman in a cafe that I purchased in Cortona, Italy, which became the focal point of the room.
I also collected two still life pieces, an impressionist landscape, a floral piece, and an abstract expressionism piece, all in a similar palette.
That is my inspiration for this challenge. Each week, I will choose a palette and complete 7 paintings of multiple styles within that palette.
I will try to create pieces that would exhibit beautifully together , but can also stand alone.
We shall see what shows up!!

"Art and music are to my soul, as food and water are to my body. I believe that they are two of God's most precious gifts to His children. As the author and giver of creativity, through these gifts, He has given us a portion of Himself. He created the very first canvas, magnificently painted it, and brought it to life" I am a full time artist, dividing my time between painting and teaching in my Colorado studio. Having painted on most every surface imaginable, at this time I work primarily on canvas, board, and paper. Though my style remains quite diverse, I believe I have the heart of an Abstract Expressionist, or even more accurately, an Action Expressionist, as I am most definitely an "action painter". Each painting is a journey , dictated by primarily by my current thoughts and emotions, be they happy, sad, peaceful or frenzied.It is a mysterious relationship, and is thrilling when the painting finally reveals itself, and our private journey becomes a story to share.

I planted coneflower (echinacea) around my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains. So...of course, I had to paint them too.
I find them to be easy to grown, and cheerful, with their giant heads and quirky style.
I painted several coneflower paintings last summer, in many sizes and styles. Somehow, this little one was overlooked and never posted.
All in all, I feel good about the results. Hope you like it too.
Have a blessed day!

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.

Sticking
with the texture and curves today, although I did start out with the
intention of having verticals and no curves, and I'm back to my reds and
oranges. It must be the cold snap we're having that I need to feel
warm. Once again the painting evolved as I went along. Click here to see the work in progress photos...

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, "Golden Palm" by Carol Schiff, 16x20" Oil, SOLD
I was going through some of my old files, and found this tropical Landscape painting that I did several years ago. I was in morning light, in an area covered with palmettos. I was fascinated by the play of light on the palm fronds, forming beautiful abstract shapes.
I worked very hard on this one, to get the dramatic values that I wanted.

Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Tropical Landscape Painting | Island House by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD
When I was a little girl, growing up in the corn fields of Ohio, I dreamed of palm trees and the sea. When I first saw the ocean, when I was nine years old, I knew I would live there.
This daily painting of a tropical landscape, made me wonder how many other little girls have that same dream. Ocean breezes and balmy breezes are powerful thoughts when you are shoveling snow, day after day, in sub-zero weather.
This little house is in the Bahama's. A blooming Poinciana tree brightens the landscape. The nice thing about dreams.....sometimes they do come true!
Thanks for viewing my blog today....and keep on dreaming!

Rose Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil
This is a little painting I did recently. I was experimenting with using safflower oil as a medium. I normally paint using only a touch of turps when I want to free up the paint a little, but have decided to try another technique.
I can see it will take a little adjustment on my part, as I tend to use too much oil and get some soupy paint. However, I like the over all effect and the nice finish it leaves. No more varnish needed!

The down side is it requires drying time and of course, there is the fire hazard. I have been told to put my rags and paper towels in a plastic bag at the end of the day and wet them down with water to make sure they don't spontaneously combust. I also have one of those fire proof trash cans, so I will use both methods to keep the studio (and my house) safe.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.
Breaking Through by Lynda Cookson
"Breaking Through" ... I love this abstract. I can feel the sun, the warmth of that sun, a warm evening sky, the sea, and the white foam of the waves.
A residency at the restored stone cottage famine village of Cill Rialaig, near Ballinskelligs in Co Kerry, Ireland, was the inspiration for this acrylic on board. The strong winter wind whipped the foam from the top of the waves and blew it against the cliffs. That, together with the sense of all the ancient (and not so ancient) lives lived there created a very spiritual atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful weather and wonderful inspiration!
"Breaking Through" is for sale HERE ... or just click the image and you'll be taken through to the correct page where you'll find the price and the size of the painting.
