Horse Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, "Buckskin Mare" by Carol Schiff, 8x10.1.5" Oil SOLD
I had a request for another horse painting, I have not done many of them, but I also enjoy them. It started with a ride through the valleys of the Blue Ridge Mountains in western North Carolina, where I found several horses grazing. The buckskin was particularly friendly, coming up to the fence to great us and posing for several photographs.
I found it difficult to mix the correct color of this animal, but finally was happy with the results. I used a palette knife in the background of this small oil painting, to create the texture of the grasses in the meadow.

Wildlife Painting, Daily Painting, "Great Blue Heron" by Carol Schiff, 11x14x1.5" Oil SOLD
It's always tricky trying to do a wildlife painting. The tricky part is getting that perfect photo to work from. With this daily painting, I got lucky!
My group, Pieces of Eight, was touring Sebastian, Fl. On the way home we made a quick stop at the riverside park in Grant looking for wildlife and other scenes. I was out on the fishing dock and this beautiful Great Blue Heron was standing there on the railing, interested in stealing a fish from the fishermen. He held his ground when I inched closer, and closer. I got several good close-up shots. This was my favorite pose.
I painted this in oil with palette knife and brush, on 11x14x1.5" gallery wrap canvas. The sides are painted black. I just love the substantial feel of gallery wrap canvases. If you are interested in a wildlife painting for your home, perhaps you will consider this one.
Thank you for reading my blog today.

Cow Painting, Daily Painting, "Bovine Portrait" by Carol Schiff, 11x14 Oil on Linen
A client wanted a cow painting, for licensing purposes. I usually do daily painting of still life or landscape, but I have to admit I enjoyed both the horse, they originally chose, and this cow painting.
I painted on Senso linen canvas. I had a pad of the linen around for several years but didn't really know what to do with it. I found it had a different texture than the cotton canvas I usually paint on, but once I got into the painting, it was fine.
My next problem was what to do with this unstretched painting. After surveying several friends, I mounted it on a cradled wood panel. I was told the perfect glue to use is YES GLUE available at craft stores. I had some in my stash and I have to say it worked like a charm. Then I trimmed the edges with a exacto knife and it turned out perfectly. Now I can use the rest of my Senso linen canvas with no fear!
So, today I stretched my limits, both with the Senso canvas and the cow painting, and luckily both worked out for me!

Original Mixed Media | 8x10" Mixed Media | Nature by Carol Schiff
Today I am featuring something quite different for me. Last summer I was able to take a workshop from the fabulous Carol Nelson. I was so curious and fascinated by her work. Carol did not disappoint!
We have several fun filled days, learning new techniques and searching for oddities to use as materials. Carol has been known to find her supplies in ditches on more than one occasion. Being the ultimate creative artist, she finds possibilities in items you and I throw away daily.
It was a wonderful, fun workshop and I came home excited about a new world of possibilities.

Daily Painting | Oil Landscape | Garden Painting | The Walk to Freedom by Carol Schiff | 24x30x1.5 Oil
 |
| purchase here 1095. + shipping |
It brings back memories of a trip I took to New Orleans last year. We spent the day driving through the surrounding countryside and toured two plantations that bordered the Mississippi levy.
As you can imagine, the grounds were stunning, but I couldn't help but think of the slaves who toiled there.

I painted using both a brush and palette knife. I love the texture a palette knife brings to a piece. I think it adds so much interest.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Mountain Poppy Field" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x1.5" Oil
My husband and I spend lots of summer time in the Blue Ridge Mountains of western North Carolina. Whenever I visit, I carry my camera just about everywhere.
I always love it when I stumble across a field of flowers....it seems like a little surprise gift. I do have to admit that this gift was probably planted by the North Carolina Highway Department or some such government organization. Still I have to appreciate the beauty of this seemingly random scene.
For years, I have resisted painting on gallery wrap canvas because of difficulty with storage and shipping. Finally, I have seen the light and am moving in that direction! I still have lots of canvas panels and studio canvas to use up, but as I replenish my supplies, I am using gallery wrap. It is so superior in look and of course, the ability to hang without a frame. The exception to this is my small 6x8" paintings which I will probably continue on canvas panel. I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue!
I hope you like today's daily painting.

Commission a Painting to your specifications, by Carol Schiff
Today's post is just a little different. Recently, I sold a small marsh painting to a client in another state. Since she could not see the art in person before she purchased it, she was surprised and dismayed by the size of the piece.
She really loved the painting, but it just wouldn't work in her space. We decided to repaint it in a much larger format. When the commission was ready to ship, I sent her this image of both works, allowing her to see that the colors and scene were similar and also to judge the size of the original against the new piece.
She was thrilled and the story has a happy ending for all.
If you have a special image or would like one of my works in another size, please feel free to contact me for a price quote. I would love to hear from you.

Abstract Seascape | Daily Painting | "Tropical Blues" by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD
When I lived close to the sea, I found that it turned up in my painting in both a representative and non-representative form. I guess this little daily painting falls somewhere between the two.
I painted this with a palette knife. I like texture and feel it adds additional interest to my art. I was thinking about the beautiful greens and blues of the tropical waters off the coast of Florida. Further south they turn the most amazing shades of azure, but that will be another painting.

I almost always show my paintings in black frames. It would be hard to find an artwork that would not work well with black and it just makes the colors pop.
Start planning that tropical vacation today!
