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.

A little seascape painting and memories of a wonderful trip, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Palette Knife Painting
Fresh off a trip to the Florida Keys, I returned inspired by the gorgeous water colors. I started a new series I call "Coral Reef". This is the first piece of the series entitled "Wakes".
I was captivated with the colors of the sea as we rode out to the coral reef.

The boat wake followed us out seven miles from shore.
It was my first trip to the keys in many years, and a had forgotten the lure of the tropical beauty.

Expressionist Abstract Seascape, Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Free Shipping in USA
For me, the best time to visit the beach is sunrise or sunset. It is such a spiritual experience.
At sunset, you may not be alone, but in a group of spectators, standing in awe, as the sun sinks into the sea.
Both experiences will enrich your day.

In the morning, I am usually alone. Just me, my camera, the birds, and possible a lone fisherman, trying his luck.

Daily Painting, Fiddlehead Fern Painting, Small OIl Painting, 11x14 Oil NFS
This small oil painting came about because of a trip I took to North Carolina.. I used to live in Florida, where we didn't get a lot of spring flowers, and when I saw this bed of ferns coming to life, I had to paint them.
I was surprised how quickly they grew, with obvious growth from day to day.
I decided to use a dark background to really highlight the ferns and keep my palette restricted to greens, blues and purples. I have been pleased with the results of this painting, which is a departure from my usual style. Blues are very difficult to photograph accurately and although the background color appears to be a deep blue, the actual color is close to a black,
This piece is available at the link above as an original, or here as a giclee' canvas print in the size of your choice.
Thanks for viewing my blog today. I hope you take time every day, to smell the roses.

Abstract Seascape | Daily Painting | "Tropical Blues" by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD
When I lived close to the sea, I found that it turned up in my painting in both a representative and non-representative form. I guess this little daily painting falls somewhere between the two.
I painted this with a palette knife. I like texture and feel it adds additional interest to my art. I was thinking about the beautiful greens and blues of the tropical waters off the coast of Florida. Further south they turn the most amazing shades of azure, but that will be another painting.

BUT A PRINT
I almost always show my paintings in black frames. It would be hard to find an artwork that would not work well with black and it just makes the colors pop.
Start planning that tropical vacation today!
