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.

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Palms in Breeze" by Carol Schiff, 8x6" Original

"Palms in Breeze" is an understatement!  It is never easy painting outside, but when your supplies are blowing away, it is time to pack up and go home.  Which is what I did.

 Is everyone recovered from New Year's Eve?  Don't you just love the idea of a fresh start, a brand new year ahead of you?

I have big plans for the coming year, a trip to Italy with my daughter and grandchildren, a new (to me) vacation home.  Painting wise, another Elio workshop and plans to start marketing my work with prints on Etsy.

A new year is the perfect time to thank you all for following my blog and facebook page too.

My wish for you is that a year from now, you will say "Wow!  Thank was the best year ever!"

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.

Thanks for reading my blog today.

Abstract Mixed Media, 10x10 ,Poured Paint, "Shade of Blue"

I am continuing on my path of abstraction and mixed media.  The highlight of this piece, in my opinion, is the intense and gorgeous color.  I am just not sure that the images will portray the depth seen in the actual piece.

Purchase herePurchase here
135 + shipping
 This consists of a 10x10 stretched canvas with a 6x8 panel attached.  The finish is a high gloss resin type .



Are you able to see the depth of the colors?


They appear very rich, as if glowing from within...........





Such fun to try creating outside your comfort zone.

Ciao!

Small Seascape Painting, Tropical Beach Art, "Florida Dreamin'"by Carol Schiff, 6x6x1.5 Oil SOLD

If you are fighting the snow and cold today, this small seascape painting might help you get through the day.

Purchase here
SOLD

It's a small  view of the ocean from east central Florida.  I love the repetitive action of the waves and could watch them roll into the beach for hours at a time.


It works well, just sitting on a shelf with a seashell or another reminder of your last trip to the tropics.



The scene extends around the sides of the canvas, so no framing is required.

I took a trip to Jetty Park at Pt. Canaveral the other day.


  That's where all the cruise ships dock and head out to the islands.  The weather was perfect, mid 70's, and I came home feeling like I had been on a little mini vacation.  Maybe this small seascape painting will help you to feel that way too.
