Pet Portrait, Daily Painting, "A Face to Die For" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil

Years ago, I collected commissions for pet portraits.  Eventually, I tired of painting from what were usually very bad images and drifted in other directions.  Every once in a while, I will see a puppy or kitten that I want to paint.....like this one.

I couldn't resist that little face, or, the sunlight that was pouring in behind.

These pinks, blues, purples and greens are really my favorite colors.  I think they give a very soothing feeling to this small floral still life.

Collage on Sale "Wild and Wacky Wednesday" Flower Collage by Carol Schiff, 8x8" torn paper collage SOLD



This posting is doing double duty for me.  Of course, it is Wild and Wacky Wednesday....but it is also showing an example of items you can expect to see at the Pieces of Eight Holiday Sale this Saturday.


SOLD
This 8x8" torn paper collage on canvas panel is listed in my Etsy store for $79.95 plus shipping.  It will be priced for $45.00 at our sale.  Nice saving!  I decided to present it to you today at the same price.  After all, not everyone will be able to come to Central Florida this weekend.  So when you purchase today, just write Wild and Wacky on the order, and I will immediately send you a  refund $35.00!

You might ask why I don't just lower the price on the listing.  That is because this price is only good until midnight today.  It is easier to send a refund than to remember to change the price of the listing early Wednesday and then (if it doesn't sell) change it back again the next morning.

Happy Shopping and don't forget to follow this link for a map to the sale.

Daily Painting, Beach Painting, "Florida Surf" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD

I love to walk on the beach and I also love to paint the scenes I find there.  So, when I walk, it is always with camera in hand.

SOLD

 I almost always start with a brush...but some paintings demand a knife.  This one demanded a knife.  I like the effect as the surf was choppy on this day and the knife helps to depict that.





Do your paintings evolve despite your best intentions?  It may not be the painting I envisioned  when I started but I always enjoy the process and MOST of the time, the results.


Just a little reminder, for those of you in Central Florida.  Our holiday art sale is coming up on Saturday, December 7th. Lots of gift ideas, including one of a kind birdhouses and chalk painted furniture.  Do your Christmas shopping with us.  For a map to the location.....click here.
