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.

Marsh Landscape with herons, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil SOLD
This little painting on linen, is a study for a 30x40" commission that I am working on.
I painted several small studies, until the client was happy with the composition.
I think this has a slightly "romantic"feel about it, quite different than my usual pieces. I kept the brushwork and the colors softer than my usual works.
When I first started painting, there were so many rules to learn. I never knew what the finished piece would look like and usually started without a specific feel in mind. After all these years, I am finally feeling a little control in my work, but, oh so much more to learn!
I know for me, this is the appeal of painting, always trying to challenge myself and escalate my skills. Very frustrating and also very rewarding and ALWAYS interesting!
Have a great day!

Marsh Landscape, Palette Knife Painting, COLORS OF THE MARSH 8x8x1.5" oil
The sun is quickly sinking below the horizon and within minutes the colors of the marsh will disappear.
My goal here was to suggest the beauty and colors of the marsh in late summer. I wanted to use plenty of texture and thick paint to do so.
I really love the gallery wrap canvases from "The Edge". I like the chunky shape of this small 8x8" with the 1.5" depth that gives this small painting more presence.
Thanks for reading my blog today :)

Marsh Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x.75" Landscape
I always enjoy marsh paintings and was very excited to find some wonderful marshes with easy access in Fernandina Beach. I was unable to paint there, but I took lots of photos and started painting them in my studio.
The marshes were a combination of green and gold when I visited in October. I hope to return in March and catch the bright spring green of new growth.
I would love to see them today, The winter colors are usually a beautiful mauve.
Thank you for reading my blog today.

Marsh Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "North Florida Marsh" by Carol Schiff, 9x12" Landscape
I recently spent a few days in Fernandina Beach and stumbled across one of their beautiful marshes. I have always admired marshes and their beautiful colors which change with the seasons.
I like texture in many of my paintings and I always enjoy playing with a palette knife.
I also like to push color. Elio Camacho is a master of pushing color.....check out his work here.
I was in Fernandina Beach to attend his workshop and I hope I was able to use some of his technique in this painting. The workshop was fascinating and I have already signed for a follow-up early next spring.
