 I painted it on a 8x8x3" canvas, so even the shape is unique. It's chunky and cute and it resides on a bookshelf , where it brightens the whole room. I cannot help but smile each time I look at it. The canvas was a mistake. I did not realize how deep it was when I ordered it. What could I possibly do with it? Well, for this painting, I think it is perfect! Have a fantastic day!

My paintings on the runway??
Several months ago, I was contacted by an Israeli fashion designer, Assaf Pelleg. He was designing his 2017 Spring/Summer Line, and wanted to use one of my paintings in his work. I agreed to work with him, and we found two of my artworks that were of interest to him.
For several months, I heard nothing! Then, suddenly, an email with the completed designs.

I am thrilled with the results!
This is the fun part of what I do. I sometimes struggle for days, over a specific artwork. Just this week, I have worked on a piece for 3 days, and scrapped it this morning! Then there are the boring hours after hours of internet work. Taking photos, editing them, posting them. Sometimes it seems the reward, is not enough to justify the effort.
But then, one day, a painting effortlessly falls off my brush, or a student sends me his power point presentation about how he was influenced by my art, or someone on the other side of the world, likes my work enough to place it in his collection.
That is the payoff!
Thanks for reading my blog today!

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.

Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel
One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.
Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees. It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.
