Marsh Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 6x8 Original Oil
This marsh landscape painting is inspired by a trip to Fernandina Beach. I was captivated by the autumn colors of the marshes.
Yes, we do have fall color in Florida.....you just have to look a little harder to find it.
It may not be on the trees, and it may not be in October. I was just noticing how beautiful the red maple trees in our yard looked last week. The leaves were a lovely burgundy color.....perfect during the Christmas season. Of course, we don't have thousands of trees in glorious color like you will find in the North, but I like to think the beaches and mild winter weather make up for it. :)

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!

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.

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!

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.

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.

I painted the sides of the canvas black. This garden landscape will work well either framed or unframed.
Don't forget to pin it, please.

Abstract Seascape, Abstract Sunset, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" SOLD
I am always fascinated by sunsets, especiall sunsets over water. This little study is my impressions of a sunset at Fernandina Beach harbor.
Of course, it bares no comparison to the actual photo(or the actual event) I took, but it did provide me with several hours of fun in the studio.
Such a simple piece should not have turned into the project I experienced, but as often happens, it did. I wanted just the right glow of colors.
It seems with me, a painting either falls off my brush or it is a major struggle. The falling off my brush part does not happen nearly as often as the major struggle. After 20+ years of painting, I imagined I would be further down the road. As my kids like to say, "it is what it is".
I try to appease myself by thinking if it were easy, it would be boring. Maybe so, but I could handle just a tad more boring,
Hope you have a great day. Thanks for stopping by.

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.
