I was driving through rural Georgia when the sun came up over the horizon and provided me with this beautiful sight.
The 1.5" sides of the stretched canvas are painted black allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.

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.

It's that time of year and we are soon on our way to Asheville to see the gorgeous fall foliage. So....I got inspired to paint this piece from an image of our own red maple tree.
 |
| Purchase Here The trees are beautiful at any time of year, but they really glow in the fall. |
I felt it deserved a textured palette knife treatment, which I think really adds to the finished piece.
Enjoy!

This painting is either the Blue Ridge Mountains or the Smoky Mountains. It is difficult to know when you leave one and enter the other.

The area is often misty or "smoky" in the mornings, but it usually burns off by mid-day.
Enjoy!

| 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 |

Last year we left beautiful western North Carolina, and moved to Florida. We are missing the beautiful scenes of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Smoky Mountains.
This was a lot of fun! Hope you like it too.

Some days I just want to smush paint around. I can almost understand Vincent eating it. So creamy, so smooth, so beautiful!
