Hydrangea Still Life Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Flower Painting, 8x10" Original Oil Painting SOLD

Last winter, I spent three months on the east coast of Florida.  It involved many walks on the beach, and my painting was full of seagulls, and seascapes.

I also painted this hydrangea still life.  I hope you like it.

SOLD

Flower Palette Knife Painting, Hydrangea Painting,Small Oil Painting, SOLD,Daily Painting, 6x8" Textured Floral

www.CarolSchiffStudio.Etsy.com

While everyone is running around, with thoughts of turkey on their minds, I sit at the computer, remembering my lovely garden from last summer.  Hydrangea is always a favorite for me.

SOLD

I painted with a palette knife, and left it very impressionistic, almost abstract.  I wanted to highlight the colors and not the form.

I have been struggling with my oils for several months now, but I was happy with the results on this piece, which has given me hope.

Thank you for viewing my blog today and I wish you all a HAPPY TURKEY DAY.

Floral Still Life, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil on Canvas panel SOLD

I painted this some time ago, and it immediately disappeared into the depths of my studio closet.  I sometimes accuse my husband of getting up in the middle of the night and hiding everything in my studio.

My goal on this painting (and all of my paintings) is to keep it fresh.  I think I achieved that .  I love a sweet, simple painting.

Hope you have some flowers in your life today.  They always make me happy.

I picked these flowers (peony and hydrangea)  from my garden, and placed them in sunlight.

I have to admit, I struggled with this piece.  I started with a brush, but after much frustration, I turned to my trusty palette knife.  In the end, I am happy with the values, and the glow on the hydrangea on the rigfht.  And the colors, love the colors.  In fact, the more I look at it....the happier I get!

So the moral of this story is, don't give up!

Daily Painting, Still Life Floral, "Hydrangea" by Carol Schiff 10x10" Palette Knife SOLD

Today I was looking for something soothing and serene........

SOLD

I have always been drawn to this color combination of blues, greens, lavenders, and pinks.  Working with a palette knife made it feel even softer to me,  I was in the zone on this one, slinging paint everywhere.  Clean up was not fun!
