I tried several approaches, but nothing was working for me. So, I just started playing with paint and my palette knife. I was envisioning a sunset over the landscape, choosing colors that "felt" right for me.
You can see how deep the canvas is in this pic. I actually love these big clunky canvases on shelves rather than walls, and I like the feel of the rough clunky paint.
All in all, it was a fun painting day.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Seascape, "Celebrating Blue" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I worked this small seascape with a knife, trying to mimic the action of the waves with my strokes.
I usually work from images on my computer, but this time the image was in my head. I tried to fill the canvas with shades of blues and greens, and also to suggest a little of the beach.
I feel I captured the spirit of the waves rushing to shore, and I must say, it was a most enjoyable experience. I plan to try this technique again.
Thank you for reading my blog today.

Abstract Seascape Painting, 8x16" Palette Knife Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occassion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

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

Abstract Giclee Print, Daily Painting, Teal and Green Abstract
I have been in an experimental mood lately. My oils have been gathering dust as I pour acrylics and alcohol inks.
 | |
| Purchase here
This piece is done on yupo paper, which really isn't paper at all, but a very slick plastic type of surface favored by watercolorists. It is an alcohol ink piece.
The original is not available, but I am offering this as a giclee print in several sizes.
We are in the process of moving and my mind seems scattered these days. I will try to continue to post during the process, but please bare with me. Eventually, we will be settled and my posts will become more regular.
Have a great day!

Spring Abstract Painting, Textured Art, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Abstract
I enjoy playing around with color, trying to evoke emotion, simply with color.
 | |
| purchase here Since spring is just around the corner (thankfully), I named this "April Muse". Turns out, it is actually a 3-D painting, as in places the paint stands out .5" from the canvas. Hope you enjoy your day!
I found this useful oil paint guide and wanted to share it with you.
