I painted with a palette knife and tried to keep all the strokes visible and strong.
Some areas have extremely thick paint.
This was a study for a 48x60" piece that I painted.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Mountain Landscape Painting, 6x8" Oil, "High in the Sky"
If you live in Colorado, you probably don't consider 6,000+ feet as high in the sky. That is the altitude of Water Rock Knob, North Carolina, which is depicted in this daily painting
I returned from a week touring Colorado. It is incredibly beautiful and wild. Where else can you go to see a herd of antelope grazing, or big horn sheep! The prairie is as gorgeous as the mountains. I wasn't expecting the beauty of rolling hills, of mother deer with their fawns walking through the waist high grasses.
But this painting is from a kinder, gentler mountain. What is high in the Blue Ridge is a starting point in the Rockies! I love both places. Being a flatlander, I feel blessed to be able to visit these stunning landscapes.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Sunset in the Wetlands", 6x8" Oil Painting
This tropical landscape painting depicts the sinking sun and reflections on one of Florida's many waterways. This particular wetland is located between Florida's intracoastal waterway to the west and the Atlantic on the east, on the barrier island that runs down the east coast of Florida. It's a particularly fascinating place as the two bodies of water are less than 1/2 mile apart.

Abstract Landscape Painting, Textured Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 10x10x3" Oil
I found some square 3 inch deep canvases in my studio, and decided to play around with one.

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.

Marsh Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x.75" Landscape
I always enjoy marsh paintings and was very excited to find some wonderful marshes with easy access in Fernandina Beach. I was unable to paint there, but I took lots of photos and started painting them in my studio.
The marshes were a combination of green and gold when I visited in October. I hope to return in March and catch the bright spring green of new growth.
I would love to see them today, The winter colors are usually a beautiful mauve.
Thank you for reading my blog today.

Marsh Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 9x12" Landscape, SOLD
I recently spent a few days in Fernandina Beach and stumbled across one of their beautiful marshes. I have always admired marshes and their beautiful colors which change with the seasons.
I like texture in many of my paintings and I always enjoy playing with a palette knife.
I also like to push color. Elio Camacho is a master of pushing color.....check out his work here.
I was in Fernandina Beach to attend his workshop and I hope I was able to use some of his technique in this painting. The workshop was fascinating and I have already signed for a follow-up early next spring.
Thanks for reading my blog today.
