The Great Northwest, Original Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Washington State Landscape
My husband and I took our first trip to the Northwest last summer. We were stunned by the gorgeous scenery in every direction.

| SOLD 325. + shipping |
Obviously, we have pine trees and ocean views in Florida, but, how could they be so very different in Washington and British Columbia? Everything seemed larger than life with trees towering into the sky and waterfalls tumbling down the sides of mountains. It was a fabulous trip that we hope to repeat some day.
I painted this, in my studio, on linen attached to board. As much as I like the idea of painting plein aire, it's not me. I was taught to paint from images and still do it to this day.

Mornings in Carolina are so special.

| purchase here One of my favorite ways to start the day, is sipping my coffee on the deck, while the morning mist burns off. It is so peaceful....as if I am alone in the world. Sounds are muted and I feel protected. The Cherokee named it Nantahala, which means "land of the mid day sun". Enjoy your day! Carol Schiff www.CarolSchiffStudio.blogger.com |

Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Beach Memories" , 11x14" Oil, SOLD
I created this small seascape from my memories of the beautiful beaches that surround us here in the state of Florida.
I painted with a brush and pallet knife to show texture in the waves rushing to shore and the sea oats rising above the protective dunes.
The more I travel, the more I am in awe of our beautiful world, including the beauty of my home state. It is so easy to forget the beauty that surrounds you. Take a moment today to find your beauty.

A Painting Workshop to Remember!
Today, I am repeating a post, from a few years ago. I think it is worthy of your attention, again. Enjoy!
A few weeks ago, my friends Carmen and Donna and I drove to Fernandina Beach, FL to attend a 4 day workshop with Elio Camacho. Elio is one of my favorite painters and my very favorite instructor and I have been lucky enough to attend with workshops twice a year for the past three years.
I started each day with this beautiful sunrise over the ocean, while eating breakfast at the hotel.
This is one of Elio's 36x48" demos that he paints in just three hours!
Here Elio met a challenge to paint without darks. He often states a painting should bring it's own light. I think this one meets that requirement
Another of his larger than life paintings.
This was a 25 minute demo he did for us on foam core. He pushed the color even more than usual and got wild and crazy.
His brushwork is very exciting...something I am hoping to bring to my work.
Elio spent a year painting blue studies, then moved on and studied yellows and reds. He likes to set up still life, to challenge his students, all in a single color. He believes red is the most difficult color to paint. If you can do a red painting, you can really see color. This was a 20 minute demo he did for us.
We hated to leave the workshop after 3.5 intense and fun days. To console ourselves, we had a final lunch of fried shrimp at our favorite eatery.
A final photo of Carmen and Donna, de-stressing with ice cream in front of Island Art Association. We thank the members for hosting us once again. Then we hop into our car for the drive home.
One last classic Elio demo that he painted in about 15 minutes, out of his head. I almost cried when he scrapped it off the next morning.
Needless to say, we are excited to return for his next Florida workshop in the spring. You can find his workshop schedule here.
