Mountain Church Painting, Small Oil Painting, Church Landscape Art, Farmhouse Wall Decor, Daily Painting
This is one of the many, small, white, churches, found in the Blue Ridge Mountains. They all have their own charm, and I love driving around in search of them.
The beauty of the red tree, was an added bonus, to my find, but, this is a charming scene, anytime of the year. It pays to have your cell phone with you!
Have a great day!

Landscape Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Ocracoke Island, N Carolina
I recently visited the outer banks of North Carolina. Ocracoke is a small settlement on the southern end of the banks.
The residents are a special group of individuals, who fiercely defend their lifestyle.
It is a 2 1/2 hour ferry ride, to reach the island, and many of the residents go years without visiting the mainland.
I appreciated their dedication to this small strip of land, 40 miles from the mainland, and am thankful they were willing to share it with me.

Beach Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Caribbean" by Carol Schiff, 16x20,1.5" Oil SOLD
Have you ever been to the Islands? In Florida "the Islands" can only mean one thing.....any of those gorgeous, laid-back, tropical paradise places starting with the Abaco's Islands to the north and extending down the coast of South American to Granada.
The water color is amazing and I never get tired of gazing at it. The air is hot and sultry, everyone moves in slow motion.......island time. The people are amazing and you feel like you are living in a Ernest Hemingway novel.
Once we spent a week on Eleuthera with our grown childen, and every morning one of our neighbors would leave a fresh pineapple on our porch. Yummy, best Pina Colada ever! We would walk to the bakery every morning for fresh Bahama bread for our breakfast. In the afternoons, the entire island population would gather on the dock to buy fresh fish. The fishermen would lay their catch on the dock and the housewives would gather around to pick their dinner.
Every day we found another isolated, beautiful beach to enjoy. Evenings were spent sitting on the porch, laughing, enjoying each other. It was a throw back to another, simpler life and we all enjoyed it immensely.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Marsh Landscape with herons, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil SOLD
This little painting on linen, is a study for a 30x40" commission that I am working on.
I painted several small studies, until the client was happy with the composition.
I think this has a slightly "romantic"feel about it, quite different than my usual pieces. I kept the brushwork and the colors softer than my usual works.
When I first started painting, there were so many rules to learn. I never knew what the finished piece would look like and usually started without a specific feel in mind. After all these years, I am finally feeling a little control in my work, but, oh so much more to learn!
I know for me, this is the appeal of painting, always trying to challenge myself and escalate my skills. Very frustrating and also very rewarding and ALWAYS interesting!
Have a great day!

Barn Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Textured Painting, 9x12" Oil Painting
Barn Landscape Painting.
When my Pieces of 8 art buddies were visiting me, in my mountain condo, we left our paints at home. We still had plenty to do!
Each day we would venture out, with our cameras in hand. One day we drove through the countryside, looking for rustic barns.
We found plenty to choose from.
On this painting, I used a combination of brushwork and knifework. I concentrated on color relationships and texture.
I so enjoy fall in the mountains and wanted to share some of the sights of the season.
Thanks for viewing my blog today!
