Today I painted a flower.
 |
| SOLD I have been struggling with my painting, for a full year now. I have never been able to establish a routine in the studio, since we packed our bags, and moved to the mountains. I thought I was over painting. I found no joy in it. In fact, everything I struggled to paint, seemed more like a duty and I found it frustrating. But now, we have been back at the beach for three months. It took awhile. First the holidays got in the way, but after the first of the year, I started to regain my love of spending my days in the studio. Maybe it was the inspiration of the long walks on the beach, or maybe it was being back with my art buddies again. Whatever..........I am thrilled and anxious to smear paint across canvas again! |

This is a small painting I finished recently. I have painted this tree many times and each time it has a different vibe about it.
We have just returned from a trip to Asheville. The leaves were in full color and we had a lovely drive on the Blue Ridge Mountains.

| SOLD Inspiration is a wonderful thing! Carol Schiff www.CarolASchiff.com www.CarolSchiffStudio.etsy.com www.CarolSchiffStudio.blogspot.com Although the original is sold, this would be a beautiful giclee print on canvas. Contact me, if you are interested. |
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.

I felt it deserved a textured palette knife treatment, which I think really adds to the finished piece.
Enjoy!

I am back working with my palette knife again. Something about the thick paint and texture is very satisfying to me.
This makes me want to get to the beach..........quickly!
Thanks for checking in today.

This is the first of three small oil paintings I did for a client. She asked for Florida marsh landscapes. I painted with both brush and palette knife.
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!
Living on the Florida coast the sea is a major part of your daily life.

I was thinking of a windy, cloudy, gray day as I worked this piece with a palette knife. Plenty of texture here.
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

I decided to paint with a palette knife, to best describe the tangle of greenery.

The beauty of this piece is in the colors of the Caribbean seascape. As you travel south to the islands you see the stunning hues of the water change.

In the morning, I am usually alone. Just me, my camera, the birds, and possible a lone fisherman, trying his luck.
