I love the little farms found in the Blue Ridge and Smoky Mountains of North Carolina.

Abstract Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Textured Art, SOLD
This small seascape is a study for a much larger piece. The only question in my mind is "How large?"
I am very happy with the understated color which makes the brighter hues really pop. I am not sure if it would be call an abstract or impressionistic.......what do you think?
What I do know, I really enjoyed painting it and want to try it again and go BIG!
Thanks for reading my blog today

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Flower Painting, "Country Style" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil on Panel
When I am in Florida, I go to the store, purchase flowers, bring them home and try to arrange them perfectly in a beautiful vase.
When I am in North Carolina, I go to the garden, or just pick some wildflowers, plop them in a small milk bottle or jelly jar.......that's what I call "Country Style".
I tried to keep that laid back feel in the painting too, using both a brush and a palette knife.
Then, I brought it back to Florida, to remind me to relax and chill now and then.
Thanks for reading my blog today. I hope you get to "chill" a little too.

Rose Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8 Knife Oil Painting, Rose still life
I am trying to improve my knife techniques and came up with this piece last week.
I was slinging paint with my knife and kept it free and clean....so much fun! I wanted to keep it loose and informal.
I like to show my small paintings in a black frame. I think it shows most paintings well and really help the colors to pop. Frames should accentuate the painting, but distract from it.
You may remember this companion piece, that I posted a few days ago.
Have a great day, and thanks for reading my blog.

Poppy Floral Painting, Poppies Flower Art, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 11x14x1.5" Oil on Canvas SOLD
One of the great things about living in Asheville, are the poppies! I loved living in Florida, but it's hard to beat a great yard full of poppies, and hydrangea.
This is a palette knife painting, with lots of texture, and a background ranging from a pale yellow green to medium grey blue.
Shipping is free on my Etsy site.
Have a great day, and thanks for visiting my blog.

Textured Seascape Painting, Palette Knife Oil, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 20x24" SOLD
I wanted to do a seascape, or actually a beach painting, somewhere between an abstract and impressionism.
I wanted to record just my memories and impressions of trips to the beach. I painted with a knife and tried to work quickly.
I tried not to think too much about the colors I was using or where I was putting them, but tried to keep it really instinctive.
I wanted plenty of texture in this piece.
It was a fun exercise!
Although this painting has sold, it is available as a giclee print on canvas or distressed wood planks. Contact me for sizes and pricing.

Abstract Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14" Original Oil Painting
It is so hard to believe, that we have been living in the mountains of North Carolina for a year and a half. I marvel at the beautiful mountain scenes outside my door. Asheville has sooo much to offer!
But there is something it cannot offer...the beach, the sea, the salt air.
Maybe that is why I was moved to do this abstract.
 |
| Purchase here
I had fun playing with the direction of my knife strokes. Still a minimalist painting, but with a little added interest. Hmmmm, I see a mountain abstract in my future!
|
The perfect wall decor for a beach house, or for someone dreaming of a beach house.
We will be heading back to the beach soon, and I will have sand on my toes, once again.
Have a blessed day!

Abstract Landscape, Daily Painting, "Fire in the Sky" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil
Whenever I feel the need to push my art, I turn to abstract. This time, I wanted some representation in the piece.
I started with an old reference photo and worked hard to bring movement and heat to the piece.

Coastal Home Decor, Beach House Art, Sea Gull Painting, SOLD
I love color, especially all the luscious paint colors available. I decided to shake things up a bit. I painted with a limited palette of only one red, one blue, one yellow and white. This was rather confining for me. To make it even a little more difficult, I chose to paint a scene without much color of any type.
I was pleasantly surprised by the beautifully harmonious results. The color, in this piece is very subtle, but none the less, I enjoy it!
I will be trying this technique again!

Mountain Sunset Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Textured Art
There is something special about a sunset over the mountains. In fact, I am attracted to any sunset, but I seem to paint a lot of them in a mountain landscape.
I was very pleased with this one. I enjoyed the texture and the colors.

Original Tropical Landscape Oil Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting
I am really enjoying our move back to Florida. As much as I loved the mountains of Asheville, I also love the sea, the nautical vibe and the delicious sea food.
This little painting is a plein air painting of the intra-coastal waterway. Wouldn't it be wonderful to live in this little white house and see this view in your back yard?

Pear and Plum Still Life, Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil on canvas panel
Have not done a still life, or a palette knife painting for a while, so this one was in my comfort zone.
 |
| Purchase here I naturally tend to lean towards cool colors, so I had fun working all my favorite color relationships. |
This scene is a repaint, from years ago. I couldn't find the original photograph, but I did have a photo of the first painting, so I used that as a guide. The first painting was done with a brush, which is why I decided to mix it up a little, by using a palette knife this time around.
Hope you enjoy it!

Underwater wonderland, Coral Reel Seascape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, SOLD
I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings. I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".
While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat. I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.
But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos. I did love the trip out and the trip back. I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.
