I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

Reproducing my Oil Painting in Mosaic, Daily Painting, Goody Bye Oils, Hello Mosaic!
Stuart’s Creek District Sidewalk Mosaic Program is in full swing as mosaicist #3, Carol Schiff, works to complete her dolphin design and voting is open for the fourth mosaic artist! Project coordinators, Corina Pelloni and Diane Concepcion are eager to share their wealth of knowledge with anyone who wants to explore the world of mosaic creations. The Rickie Report gives you some sneak peeks of Carol’s work as all we information about voting for Mosaic Artist #4 and classes.
Carol is a very skilled and experienced oil painter. Mosaic art is a new medium for her. A pleasure to have in the studio, she has been working diligently on her winning design, and has really taken to mosaic art like a… dolphin to water.
Here is Carol’s original painting shown next to her work-in-progress:
Carol is a Florida oil painter who loves the coastal beaches, flora and fauna of this tropical paradise. Her second love is the Asheville/Blue Ridge Mountains area. Her art features both of these sites.
Her painting style is characterized by exciting brushwork, contrast, hues, and texture from palette knives. She skillfully applies these techniques to images of landscapes, still lifes and animals.
With a client list that includes Warner Brothers, Netflix, CBS, Disney Channel and Duke University, you may have seen one of her paintings on the screen. One painting is in the 2019 movie ‘The Joker’. A few more make appearances in popular TV shows Magnum PI and Hawaii 5-0.
To see more of her work, visit her shop on Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/shop/CarolSchiffStudio
Carol’s mosaic will be completed in a few more sessions. Then, it will be installed near Herban Botanicals on Colorado Ave, and we’ll gather to celebrate a new piece of public art in Downtown Stuart’s Creek District of Arts and Entertainment.
There’s more:
Don’t miss your opportunity to vote on the design for the 4th mosaic!
The location for this artwork will be the sidewalk at the intersection of 5th Street and A1A near Kiwanis Park. Both finalists designs are beautiful original artworks submitted by brilliant local artists, Marian Vitale and Deborah Bottorf.
For more information and application:

Wondering if you’d like to try mosaic art?
All are welcome to enter a design for consideration. When a contest is open, it will be accessible by the link above, and that’s also where information about the program can be found.
Another option is to take an intro to mosaics class. Classes are offered at Flagler Center on the first Saturday and third Wednesday of each month. You must register in advance for a workshop. Learn more and sign-up at:https://www.missingart.space/sign-up-for-an-intro-to-mosaics-workshop/

Abstract Seascape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Tropical Ocean 8x8x1.5"
Fresh off a trip to the Florida Keys, I returned inspired by the gorgeous water colors. I started a new series I call "Coral Reef". This is the first piece of the series entitled "Wakes".
I was captivated with the colors of the sea as we rode out to the coral reef.

The boat wake followed us out seven miles from shore.
It was my first trip to the keys in many years, and a had forgotten the lure of the tropical beauty.

Weeds Can Be Beautiful,Thistle Still Life Study, Daily Painter, Small Oil Painting, SOLD
This small oil painting is a tribute to thistles. The lowly thistle, thought to be a weed, in my eyes, a brilliant floral beauty.
I photographed this thistle while taking a summer walk in the valley. Armed with my image, I painted it in oil, with lots of texture to suggest the spikey flower. Some of the texture comes from my use of the palette knife, and some of it was applied direct to the canvas. The sides of the canvas are finished, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.
This is a picture of me, doing my favorite thing!
Thank you for viewing my art today.

abstract expressionist painting, contemporary art, daily painting, small abstract art, small oil painting,
I was feeling the need to get abstract again and wanted to experiment with some gold leaf I had in my bag of tricks.
I have to say I had lots of fun with this piece. I wanted to keep the colors fairly neutral....black, white, gray, rust. I had a piece of watercolor paper that had already been treated with a rusting technique, so the plan was to let some of that background show through. I also wanted to incorporate that gold leaf. I worked with a palette knife to get plenty of texture. All in all, I had a great time! Kind of like making mud patties when you were six....that same feeling. :)
Help me out....Pin It!

I painted with a palette knife and tried to keep all the strokes visible and strong.
Some areas have extremely thick paint.
This was a study for a 48x60" piece that I painted.

Palette Knife Paintings and Technique
The most enjoyable experiences, I get out of painting, almost always involves a palette knife. I may start out with a brush in hand, but eventually the knife takes over.
This was my first experience. I started on a canvas with a half finished painting. One I had lost interest in ever finishing.

Rural Landscape Painting, Autumn Painting,Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 11x14" Oil
A scene that is found everywhere, in my new state, North Carolina. Maybe not everywhere, but, everywhere around here in the Asheville area.
We are just getting hints of fall. A maple will have one red branch, while the rest of the tree is still green. But I can sense that it WANTS to be red!
Hope your day is colorful, too!

3 Birds A Dog A Cat and A Horse, Oil Paintings of Various Animals and Birds, Daily Paintings, Small Oil Painting
I was looking at some of my images and was really surprised to see how many bird and animal paintings I have done. I thought today would be a good day to post a few of my old time favorites.
It is always interesting and educational to review the painting journey that you have been on. I like to line up older paintings, chronologically, which helps me to see the improvements I have made and the ones I would like to make in the future. Always an interesting exercise.
Have a painterly day and thanks for visiting!

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!

Tropical Landscape Painting, Coastal Wall Decor, Palm Trees on the Shoreline, Tropical Giclee Print On Canvas
You would think that with everyone staying at home , with our activities curtailed, that time would drag. I find it to be just the opposite.
So, time flew for me, and for most of the year, I had no time or inclination to paint. Finally, I am back in the studio!
It is very reassuring for me to get back to normal activity, in at least one aspect of my life.
I hope your finding a little silver lining in your life too.

palette knife,daily painting,abstract seascape,
For me, the best time to visit the beach is sunrise or sunset. It is such a spiritual experience.
At sunset, you may not be alone, but in a group of spectators, standing in awe, as the sun sinks into the sea.
Both experiences will enrich your day.
