 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!

Moon Painting, Sky Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5"
The moon rises as night falls.
This is not my usual painting. This painting was commissioned by a client, who wanted to use it on his CD cover. He had written and recorded songs and wanted the cover to represent specific lyrics.
I allowed him to dictate the exact scene he requested, which resulted in this painting. The bad news is, he was not happy with the results. The good news is, he had paid an non-refundable deposit.
Although my deposit, was not enough to cover the materials and labor I expended, I believe it was a profitable experience. I learned a lot of dos and don'ts. He ended up purchasing another painting.
We parted ways, but I believe we were both happy with the outcome.

Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Sunset over Marsh, "Sky Glow" 8x10x1.5"
Painting sunsets is one of my favorite subjects. The only thing better is painting sunsets over water!
This is an 8x10" painted primarily with a brush, with just a little palette knife help at the center of interest.
I tried to keep it a little more realistic than some of my sunsets, which can easily get a little on the gaudy side. It's so easy to get carried away with those gorgeous colors. Photographs do the same, showing the colors stronger than life and darkening the forground to a near black.
I recently purchased a video from Richard Robinson, a very accomplished artist, (google him) and he showed me a few new tricks about sunsets. He starts painting with the sun, working outward. He has a stunning way with color in all his works, but it is his sunset paintings that realy attract me.
Thanks for viewing today.

Sky Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Cloud Painting, "Autumn Skies" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x1.5" Oil
In this small oil painting, the rusty foliage and peachy clouds are the perfect foil to the blue sky. It's always a happy day when a painting goes together easily as this one did.
I painted with a palette knife, which is almost always fun, to achieve the texture and subtle color changes I was looking for.
In these hectic days before the holidays, it's always nice to stop, take a deep breath, and enjoy the world around you.
