I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

| Purchase here I could not get the great John Lennon's song "Imagine" out of my mind! If fact, as I write this, I am humming the song. So, this is my interpretation.Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Check out Pieces of Eight blog and view the other entries in our challenge.
Have a great day!

A Safe Place, Abstract Painting,Palette Knife Painting, Church Painting, Small Oil Painting, daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel, SOLD
I have been dabbling with abstracts for some time, and now have started to add some structures to the mix.
I am always attracted to old churches, and this one is rather special. It is a local landmark in our town. I worked right next door for twenty plus years, so I saw it every day. Now, it also serves as a cold weather shelter for the homeless.

Ocracoke Island Abstract Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Abstract Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD
The Outer Banks on North Carolina have been on my mind. I was thinking of Ocracoke when I painted this little abstract seascape.
The Outer Banks is like no other place I have visited. Surrounded by water, the residents are a hardy type who take pride in providing for themselves. The danger of living there, is still felt, as the tropical storms and hurricanes devastate the dunes and road on a regular basis. In earlier times, shipwrecks littered the beaches.
I painted with a palette knife and oils, leaving it as raw and wild as the beaches.
Thanks for viewing my art today.

I am busy painting several large commissions, so for the moment, my daily paintings are scarce. I decided to post some older works, and the theme I chose today is yellow.

Abstract Landscape Painting | Contemporary Art | Palette Knife Painting | HUES by Carol Schiff | 18x36x1.5" Oil
I wanted to do an abstract landscape in a larger size than I have worked with in the past. I remembered driving through the fields of Georgia just as the sun broke over the horizon one morning, and decided to paint based on that memory.
I enjoyed the experience of painting on a larger scale and tried hard to keep the freshness of my smaller abstracts.
We used to say that photos never lie, but as you know, that is not true these days. I just returned from a short trip to New York City with my daughter and grandson. He had lots of fun taking photos that lie. This is one of my favorites.....
We also walked by a sports show being filmed on TV. That is my grandson in the background, making like the circus strong man. Hope they didn't mind!

WILDFLOWERS, ACRYLIC, 20X24, SOLD
This is definitely not my usual painting! A few years ago, I took a month long workshop with Fritz VanEeden. Fritz is a very well known and respected artist from Holland who has been living in our town at least part of the year. I was fortunate enough to work with him for over a month, 3 days a week, for 4-5 hours. Fritz is obsessed, and if he is awake, he must have a paintbrush in his hand! He is also a wonderful man. I do enjoy this type of painting, but I just couldn't get the hang of painting out of my head. So this is my one and only true abstract!Now, my varnishing question got several replies, both here and on facebook, and the winner is......retouch varnish! I have run to my art supply store to grab a can and now feel much more confident in my technique. So, thank you all very much for your replies!
