Pastel Days, Small Abstract Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting 8x10x1.5" Oil
This piece was inspired by a sunset on Key Largo. It was a softer, hazy day, but the sunset was just as beautiful as the more showy, vibrant displays we usually see.
The perfect end to a perfect day. Hope your day is perfect too!

Dolphin Painting, Wildlife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Original Oil, SOLD
This was a fun painting for me. Maybe it's the subject matter, but I smiled the whole time.
Last summer, we spent a few days in Key Largo, with our grandson. The one thing he was really looking forward to was swimming with the dolphins. He loved every minute of it and later told me he had met a life long goal by doing so. (He was 13).
While I was watching, I snapped this shot of one of the dolphins, and have had it on my list of subjects to paint for months.
Sometimes, many times, I find myself putting off certain subjects, afraid that I am not accomplished enough to do them justice. Such was the case here.
I am happy I finally gave it a try, and was pleased with the results. I will have to push myself more in the future, when I find myself backing off a subject that I am unfamiliar with.
Hope you have a great day!

Sunflowers and farmhouse...the perfect pairing! daily painting, small oi painting, 6x8 oil painting
Sunflowers and farmhouses, the perfect pairing!
It is a cold, gray day, here in the mountains, and sunflowers are the perfect way to brighten things up.
Both sunflowers and farmhouses, are not uncommon, here in the mountains. It's hard not to smile when I look at sunflowers.
Yesterday, we drove over the mountains to Gatlinburg. I am happy to report that things are looking up there. Spring is taking over, renewal is everywhere. Yes, there are still signs of the devastating fires from two years ago, but the mood is upbeat and the tourists are there.
Have a wonderful day!

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Seascape, "Celebrating Blue" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I worked this small seascape with a knife, trying to mimic the action of the waves with my strokes.
I usually work from images on my computer, but this time the image was in my head. I tried to fill the canvas with shades of blues and greens, and also to suggest a little of the beach.
I feel I captured the spirit of the waves rushing to shore, and I must say, it was a most enjoyable experience. I plan to try this technique again.
Thank you for reading my blog today.

Sunflower Painting, Field of Sunflowers, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil Painting, SOLD
Sunflowers always make me smile! This little painting is no exception!
Sometimes, painting comes much more easily than others. I painted this and one other landscape that I am happy with.........and then the bottom fell out! I wiped and wiped and wiped. I couldn't seem to do anything right! Finally I turned to acrylic pouring as a distraction. I have been doing pouring exclusively for the last few weeks.
I am hoping this little journey into a related, but different type of work, will get me back on track again. More to come!

| SOLD I used both a brush and knife on this piece. I wanted some texture, and also vibrant colors. I tried to make the colors play off one another. |
