Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Fiddlehead Fern Painting, 11x14x1.5" Oil NFS
A few posts back, I showed you a painting of fiddlehead ferns. I decided to do a companion piece. The original painting had a very dark, some would call it black, background, but on this one I decided to go light,
The background is photographing a little orangey...it is really more of a nice yellow. I wanted it to suggest the sunlight that was pouring in around the ferns.
I am considering one more fiddlehead painting,,,,,a really big one! What do you think?
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Floral Landscape | Small Oil Painting | Daily Painting | Garden Walk by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Original SOLD
I have always had visions of the perfect flower garden in my head and this small oil painting really captures it. A white picket fence, an abundance of flowers, bee's buzzing...something like a Disney garden with no weeds allowed.
When I saw this garden, in front of a charming cottage in North Carolina Blue Ridge Mts., it was like a dream come true. Of course, I had to paint it.
I am not blessed with a green thumb, so this was as close as I could get to my fantasy. I hope you enjoy it!
When I first moved to Florida, I remember going to a plant nursey and the owner said to me "You are in the land of milk and honey, everything grows here." Not true! In the summer, it is so hot, my plants die or struggle to survive. This year we have had so much rain, everything has rotted! Now, Washington State, British Columbia, England....that is where beautiful flowers grow!

Daily Painting, Small Flower Painting, Small Oil Painting, " Picket Fence" by Carol Schiff, 6x12x.75" SOLD,Oil
Every once in a while I find a small piece of "the way things used to be"........you know what I mean? In the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, we often pass a charming white house, surrounded by a white picket fence. It is obviously the house of a gardner. When I saw it this summer, with a beautiful display of flowers bordering the fence, I asked my husband to stop so that I could hop out of the car and take a photo.
Somebody remind me not to paint with such dark backgrounds! Although, I love the way the painting shows in life, it is impossible to photograph it without glare.
Regardless, I was happy with the painting and thrilled to find this beautiful setting and reminder of the slower, more peaceful life in small town America that I remember from my youth.

Tropical Landscape Painting | Small Oil Painting | Flower Painting | Daily Painting | Bougainvillea Garden by Carol Schiff \ 6x8" Oil | SOLD
One of the advantages of living in Florida is the profusion of blooming flowers available year round. Bougainvillea is found everywhere in the state in several vibrant colors.
 |
| SOLD |
A native to coastal Brazil, the bougainvillea was discovered in 1768 in Rio de Janeiro by French naturalist Dr. Philibert Commerçon (also sometimes spelled Commerson). The plant is named after his close friend and ship’s admiral Louis-Antoine de Bougainville, who commanded the ship La Boudeuse that sailed around the world between 1766-1769, and in which Commerçon was a passenger.
It certainly speaks to tropical Florida, although it is covered in thorns.
This scene was requested by a client who longs for her memories of a Key West vacation.

Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, "Texture" by Carol Schiff, 16x20" Mixed Media
I was looking at my blogger statistics recently, and noticed that I will be celebrating my 7th year of writing this blog in two weeks! How did that happen?
To celebrate, I thought I would re-post my most popular painting. I was shocked to see that two of my works had many, many, more views than the others. In fact, they had two or three times the amount of views than the 3rd place painting. They are two completely different pieces of work and even weirder...neither have sold!
I suppose, I should wait for two weeks, but I have to act while I still like the idea, so here is the 2nd most popular post:
This is a view of a charming cottage and garden I found on a walk through Hyde Park in London. The cottage was actually some type of park office and the grounds were incredible.
And here is the big winner..............................
If you would like to read the original post, with a description of how this was painted, you will find it here:
http://carolschiffstudio.blogspot.com/2012/02/daily-abstract-painting-texture-20x16.html
Although I had painted a few small abstract type items, I consider this to be my first REAL abstract. With 1138 views, it far out paced every other post!
So there is a big difference in the two paintings. The only thing they have in common is that I painted them both and neither sold! :) Maybe, with time, this will become my MOST POPULAR POST!

Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, "Roses of Laura Plantation" by Carol SAchiff, 10x10x1.5" Oil SOLD
Last spring I was touring the beautiful Creole plantation in southern Louisiana, called Laura. It was named for the "president" of the plantation, who is always the smartest child. The Creole's had no problem recognizing women as the smartest and strongest in their communities.
Now that I have.....I want to do a larger version.
Have a great day and please click below to pin!

| SOLD The plantation was more of business than home, although it served as both. It was very functional. If it didn't make money, it wan't there. In contrast, the American plantation down the road was your typical big white house with columns....just what you would expect a plantation to look like. I was charmed by this scene of climbing roses and knew I would want to paint it. |
