Abstract Sailboat Painting, Small Oil Painting, Coastal Wall Decor, Beach House Wall Decor, Nautical Scene, Palette Knife Painting
I have been inspired by sailboats that I view on the Intracoastal Waterway, here in Florida. They seem so calming and graceful as they move through the water.
Both of these paintings are available at my website listed below.
Have a great day!

The original is sold, but contact me for a giclee print in the size of your choice.
Living in Florida for 40 years, I'm am enjoying my first spring in the Blue Ridge Mountains, seeing many of the flowers I remember as a child. I am excited to see even more as the season turns to summer. Have my fingers crossed that I will find lilac in my neighborhood.
More to come.....thanks for reading my blog today.
On a side note, I am having lots of difficulty posting comments on blogs, and replying to comments made here.. Please know that I read and value your comments.

Where Am I Going?, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Paintings
Traditionally, this time of the year, is when we evaluate our performance, over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Brushwork?
Knife?
Really thin paint?
Artistically, I see nothing but question marks. I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?

Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Really thin paint?
Or does it really matter?
All this thinking is making my head hurt!
I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME. I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.
Maybe 2020 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.
Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!
Hubby keeps me grounded!

Abstract Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Triptych Painting
Every now and then, I just have to do an abstract. Usually painting knives are involved. This one is no exception. I wanted to take a square composition and turn it into a rectangle. This us what I came up with.
I have been in North Carolina, in the mountains for the past few weeks. We are enjoying our time here.
The other day we went to the park and had a picnic lunch, something we never do at home. There were ducks and geese everywhere.
We had a relaxing and fun time and our sandwiches tasted twice as good as usual. The crisp fall weather comes and goes. It is so much fun to be in the mountains this time of the year and I cannot wait for the fall color. I will share with you when it comes.
When I work on the computer, I can see chipmonks running back and forth, across the patio. They are so fast, it is hard to get a photo, but I did manage to catch one stuffing his cheeks with goodies.
Have a great fall day, wherever you are.

Expressionists Abstract Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Cross Composition in Orange, Blue and Purple, 8x8x1.5 Original Oil
This contemporary abstract painting is on a heavily textured stretched canvas.
I used a cross (one of my favorites) composition and split complementary colors of blue, purple and orange to achieve a nice glow. I painted with a knife to get even more texture and very subtle color changes.

I was always fairly mystified about the process of painting an abstract, but I am finding that it is much like any other artwork. You must have a composition, a point of interest, color interaction and contrast.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

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.

Small Abstract Painting, Church Painting "The Safe Place" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I have been dabbling with abstracts for some time, and now have started to add some structures to the mix.
I am always attracted to old churches, and this one is rather special. It is a local landmark in our town. I worked right next door for twenty plus years, so I saw it every day. Now, it also serves as a cold weather shelter for the homeless.
