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!

Tropical Landscape Art | Small Oil Painting | Daily Painting | Boat Painting | Retirement Dream by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil
We all have dreams....right? Well, this is not my dream, but a client's. It's a really nice dream, but I am already retired and no boat in sight!
My client dreamed about living in the tropics, on the water, a nice toy nearby and a pretty tropical garden. If you have ever been in Florida, you will see these Poinciana trees everywhere in the central and southern portion of the state. Of course, you have to be here at the right time of the year to see the beautiful blooms.
I hope all your dreams come true!

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.

Fall Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel
Today I am posting another new autumn painting. I am so inspired by the beautiful landscapes beyond my windows.
This is a cute little house, down the road, in Waynesville NC. A little story book house!
Time for pumpkins, burning leaves, and roasting marshmallows. The local orchards are full of apples and cider. YUM! If I could just find a hay ride, life would be complete.

Where Am I Going?, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Paintings
Traditionally, this time of the year, is when we evaluate our performance, over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Brushwork?
Knife?
Really thin paint?
Artistically, I see nothing but question marks. I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Really thin paint?
Or does it really matter?
All this thinking is making my head hurt!
I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME. I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.
Maybe 2020 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.
Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!
Hubby keeps me grounded!
