Abstract Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Textured Art, "Rainy Day in Albany" 10x10x3" Contemporary Art
This painting was a happy accident! Well, maybe not the painting, but the total effect.
I purchased some art supplies online and was very surprised (and maybe dismayed) to see that two sizes of canvases we actually 3" deep! How did that happen? I thought about returning them, but after calculating the return shipping, I realized that would not work.
So what to do? They seemed so in-your-face, not the right canvas for a delicate rose.
I decided abstract was the way to go.
I wanted lots of texture, but still need contract in the texture.
Yes, it can go on the wall.....but why? I love it sitting on a shelf, pretending to be a sculpture.
And guess what! A manufacturer loved it too, so it is licensed and may be appearing in a department store near you soon, pretending to be a pillow or maybe a duvet.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Asheville Mountain Sunset Original Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting
We lived in Asheville for a few years, and I never tired of the changing landscapes. Of course they are famous for autumn trees, but day by day and hour by hour, the view of mountains change.
I painted with a palette knife and tried to keep it uncluttered and maybe just a touch abstract.

Barn Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Rustic Painting, Scenic Landscape, 9x12x.75"
I am spending time in the mountains and have said goodbye to the tropical scenes, for now.
I tried to take a few hints from him.
Be prepared to see a few more barns and rural scenes in the next few weeks.
Have a colorful day!

Original Tropical Landscape Oil Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting
I am really enjoying our move back to Florida. As much as I loved the mountains of Asheville, I also love the sea, the nautical vibe and the delicious sea food.
This little painting is a plein air painting of the intra-coastal waterway. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in this little white house and see this view in your back yard?
Rural Landscape Painting | Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Country Road by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Original SOLD
Country Road, take me home.....
I still miss John Denver! This rural landscape painting reminds me of his talent and the beautiful songs he left with us.
I walk this road every morning when I am in the Smoky Mts. of Carolina. The morning light and pastoral scenes are the perfect way to start my days there.
I painted with a palette knife, in a technique I refer to as "color weaving". It allows for lots of texture in the work as well as very subtle changes in color. This is actually the same scene I painted in a previous post. Check out my Sept 7, 2014 post where I cropped the image and painted with a brush. A completely different composition! That's one of the things I love about art.

Abstract Landscape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Sunset Abstract Painting
Some days I just want to smush paint around. I can almost understand Vincent eating it. So creamy, so smooth, so beautiful!
When I feel that way, I always get out my palette knife and just enjoy. Remember that feeling you had as a kid in kindergarten?
Right away my shoulders relax.
Enjoy the day!

I am spending time in the mountains and have said goodbye to the tropical scenes, for now.

Have a colorful day!
ADDITION: Since originally writing this post, a lot has happened! On Tuesday the 4th, we woke to the frightening news that Hurricane Matthew was targeting our home in Florida. We hopped in the car and drove 10 hours to protect our home. Wednesday was a stressful day with lots of hard labor in hot and humid weather. If you have never put hurricane shutters on your home, you cannot image the amount of strength it requires to lug these 11 foot panels and attach them over windows and doors. It was an exhausting day and my husband and I crawled to bed, grateful to have our house protected, as long as the roof held. At five the next morning, the news is worse, the storm is now a Cat. 4 and expected to make landfall in our county. Complete devastation is predicted!! I call my daughter and son to inform them that they need to evacuate, which means find a safe hotel now. My daughter goes to Boca Raton and my son and family (and their three dogs) come with us to Orlando. Safe, but now we are expecting all of us to be homeless. Maybe our entire town will be gone!
The night passes and we wake to good news. At the last moment, the storm veered east, just enough to save our town, reports of damage are few and minor. Did our roof hold? Did our house flood? Now we are under curfew and must wait until the curfew is lifted to return home. Finally, at 4:00 that afternoon, we return home to find our house is fine, and so are my son and daughter's home. Nobody can believe that the storm moved, just enough at just the right time, to save us. We still have two days of steaming Florida heat to face without power, but there is always a smile on our faces.
We are still awaiting news of our sister in Hilton Head Island, SC who also had to evacuate. Their entire island, which substained substancial damage, is closed off . It will be several more days of waiting before they are allowed to inspect their home. It will be weeks, maybe months before life returns to normal there.
Later this week, we will return to the mountains of North Carolina. We left half our belongings there and hope to see at least a few days of autumn leaves before returning to Florida for the winter.
Having survived many hurricanes over the years, we were spared one of the worse aspects. We were able to be in constant contact with friends and family through texting. In the past, we sometimes waited days after the storms before having news of their safety. We are so grateful to have survived this horrible storm.

Abstract Sunset Painting, Textured Sunset Painting,SOLD, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Original Oil
I didn't mean to paint this! I decided to do an abstract, with nothing in particular in mind, and almost without my help, this sunset appeared.
Sunsets are one of my recurring themes and it just kind of happened before I knew it. Usually it does not happen that way for me. Usually, I struggle, I scrape, I try and try again. Sometimes I pull it off to my liking....sometimes I do not.
So on those few occassions, when I am happy without the anguish, I say a little "thank you" and put away my paints for the day.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

This small seascape painting was worked with a palette knife and is full of texture. Just as the sea has many faces, my art does too. Some days I want to do a detailed piece and somedays I want to sling paint. Today...I wanted to sling paint.
The textured sand and foliage.

Daily Painting, Abstract Landscape, "Lighting the Heavens" by Carol Schiff, 12x24x.75" Oil SOLD
In this painting, my goal was to capture that magic moment when the sun just peeks through the horizon and night turns to day.
For me, that is the best moment.......knowing I have a brand new day to enjoy.
I did my favorite palette knife technique (which I have labeled color weaving) on this. I find it gives me a great way to blend from one color to another.
I hope your day is fabulous and if you have not seen a sunrise lately...set your alarm for tomorrow, grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the show!
