ABSTRACTIONS!!, Abstract Paintings, Daily Paintings. daily painter

SOLD

 Although I have been painting, I find myself at the awkward place where I have let myself run out of photographed pieces.  The weather has been rather gray which makes it hard to photograph the colors accurately.  So today, I am posting some abtract paintings.  Most of these are sold, but they may be available as prints on canvas, if desired.

SOLD

 I have had the urge to try some more abstracts, but have really been trying to focus on impressionism, in the hopes of sharpening my skills.  My abstract desires, are like a "guilty pleasure" that I have been resisting.

 If I had doubts about my leanings toward cool colors....it is pretty obvious to me now.

 This one was all about texture.  I mixed sand into the paint which gave it a stucco type finish.

Blue and Green Paintings, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting

The past few weeks have been full of days on the couch and doctor visits.   As a result, I have fallen behind on my daily art projects.

I thought this would be a perfect time to review a few on my favorites from over the years.

To help narrow it down, I selected paintings that feature blue and green hues.

All of these works are available, either as original or giclee print on canvas at my Etsy site,

Thank you so much for viewing my art today. 

 Hopefully, I will be posting new work in the next few days.

Dogwood Painting, Flower Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8 Oil painting on panel

YES!  I am still painting flowers and lovin' it.  This one gave me lots of trouble, but in the end, I think I pulled it off.  It is not my usual painting, so I would love to hear your input.

NFS

I call this my semi impressionist, semi abstracted piece.  I painted with  oil and added lots of medium to make the colors translucent.  Of course, I added all my favorite hues, whether I saw them or not.

detail

I decided to reuse a panel with a not so perfect painting on it, but instead of sanding it down, I allowed all the texture from the previous painting to show through.  I like this idea and have used it several times since.  This one was all about trial and error, but, in the end.....it made me feel good!

Teacup Lamps and Dinnerplate Clocks, unique lamps and clocks

As much as I love to paint, I also have a little side hobby I enjoy.  My son and daughter-in-law have joined me in a little side business, making lamps and wall clocks from vintage dinnerware.

Purchase here

 For me, the attraction is the thrill of the hunt.  I visit estate sales and vintage stores, looking for the perfect pieces of vintage dinnerware.

purchase here

My daughter in law assembles the pieces into beautiful lamps.  My son drills out the assembled pieces and adds brand new electrical components.

purchase here

Viola! a  fun and unique lamp.  The lamp travels back to my house for photography and storage until that special person purchases it.  Then I wrap it carefully in bubble wrap and stryofoam to ship to your home.

purchase here

 I find many of my teapots in North Carolina, during my visits there.  I had to have this leopard print teapot!

and this cute little black and yellow polk a dot piece.

 These are just a few of our lamps.  We also do commissioned lamps, using colors you request, or even your own special dinnerware.....maybe that special plate or cup from your grandmother.  Click here to see our full collection of lamps and clocks.

Of course, it bares no comparison to the actual photo(or the actual event) I took, but it did provide me with several hours of fun in the studio.

Such a simple piece should not have turned into the project I experienced, but as often happens, it did.  I wanted just the right glow of colors.

It seems with me, a painting either falls off my brush or it is a major struggle.  The falling off my brush part does not happen nearly as often as the major struggle.  After 20+ years of painting, I imagined I would be further down the road.  As my kids like to say, "it is what it is".

I try to appease myself by thinking if it were easy, it would be boring.  Maybe so, but I could handle just a tad more boring,

Hope you have a great day.  Thanks for stopping by.

Abstract Seascape | Daily Painting | "Tropical Blues" by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD

Living close to the sea, I find it turns up in my painting in both a representative and non-representative form.  I guess this little daily painting falls somewhere between the two.

SOLD

 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!
