Exciting News!!

One of the most exciting things about being an artist, on the internet, is the contact you receive from people all over the world.

Over the years I have recieved  several licensing contracts, had my artwork on CD covers, designed food wrappers for a candy company, been published in international books, and had my art prints purchased by set design on the TV show "Hawaii Five-O".

All this has come to me, simply because I sell art on the internet.  I am blessed!

Today I get to add to the list.

This is my artwork as a wine label!!



Doesn't it look great!!

In a few weeks I will travel to Georgia, to visit the wonderful folks at the winery.

The wine is a pineapple infused chardonnay, which I am anxious to try.  My friends know that chardonnay is my drink of choice, so I will be coming home with a trunk full of it.

Now I'm back at the easel.  I am working on a 24x30" in my Coral Reef series and will be posting it soon.

Aloha!

Daily Painting, Wildlife Art, "Mountain Ducky" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD

This daily painting is a happy little duck I found in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina.  It was a hot summer day and the colors of the water reflected a gorgeous blue sky.




SOLD

Some days, I love working with a palette knife and smearing lots of thick paint around and this was one of those days.  It is just so satisfying ....kind of like baking bread!

Thank you for viewing my daily painting and if you like it.....I hope you will pin it!

Seascape Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 11x14" Ocean Painting Underwater Garden

I am still reliving my recent trip to Key Largo in my paintings.  I think this is number five or six in the series I call "Coral Reef".

Purchase here
 While in Key Largo we went out seven miles to the coral reef in a glass bottom boat.  I got really sea sick when they powered down over the reef and did not enjoy it as much as I would have liked to.

detail
 But, I kept my eyes on the reef as much as I could, and took some photos.  I did love the trip out and the trip back.  I could not take my eyes off the stunning aqua and blue waters.

detail
These paintings are more impressions than actual scenes.



Thanks for viewing my art today!

Small Oil Painting, Tree Painting, Daily Painting, Fall Color Maple Tree, 6x8" Oil

I painted this little piece last fall, looking out the window of my studio in the Smoky Mountains.  It was a cold, gray, rainy day, and the little tree seemed to glow.


Purchase here
It reminded me of the little engine that could.  (I think I can, I think I can)


I always enjoy slinging paint around with a palette knife.  I highly recommed it, so if you have not tried it...........

Thanks for viewing my blog today :)

Daily Painting, Underwater Painting, Key Largo Sea Turtle, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil

I am still working on my Coral Reef Series.  This is #4.  I tried to capture the glorious colors of the area and the relaxing, tranquil atmosphere.  This piece was painted using both brush and palette knife.  The 1.5" deep sides are painted a dark value, allowing it to be hung with or without a frame.

I hope you are enjoying this series as much as I am.  Thanks for reading by blog today.
