THE SEA, 5X7, ABSTRACT, OIL, CA SCHIFF, SOLD

I have not done any seascapes for quite some time now, so when the urge hit me, I painted this one out of my head. I really want to take another photo shoot at the beach, just have to find the time to get there.

CAROLINA STORM, 8X10, ABSTRACT, CA SCHIFF, OIL, SOLD

This is my largest abstract to date. I really love the feeling I get when I do them and because of them I feel much stronger in my impressionistic paintings. I feel it is a win/win situation for me. Someday I may branch out and do an abstract still life, but for the moment, I am enjoying the landscapes.

ANOTHER POPPYFIELD, 5X7, OIL,SOLD

Every once in a while I just have to do a red/green combo. I think poppies are probably my favorite flower, especially in the wild. They just knock your eyes out! This one is about 1/2 abstract and 1/2 impressionistic. I no longer know what I am doing, or maybe never did...but I am enjoying it more!

MOUNTAIN FARM, 8X10, OIL, CA SCHIFF SOLD

A farm down road from our vacation home in the mountains of North Carolina. It is so very beautiful there!

SWIMMING HOLE, 8X10, OIL, SOLD

Just down the road from our vacation home in North Carolina is this really nice campground. The guests there always have so much fun with campfires, puppet shows, swimming, singing, etc. It always reminds me of a scene from the 50"s when life was not so complex.

My paint group, Pieces of Eight, had a week long retreat at my home this summer, and one day we were painting a 200 year old cabin down the road. A very lovely lady from South Carolina stopped to say hello and one thing led to another. She loved the cabin and arrangements were made for her and her sisters to come to my home the next day for an impromptu "wet canvas" exhibition. Several paintings found new homes that morning, and this was one of them. It seems the family spent many years visiting the area and staying in the campgrounds before building homes there. They had many warm memories of their time camping.

If you want a special treat, check out artist Linny D Vine. Her artwork is delightful, and I am pretty sure she is too. Viewing her work is like a walk through the magical forest, a trip to Disneyland, and cotton candy, all rolled into one. You won't be sorry!
