Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Art, Rose Painting, 8x10 Still Life, "Rose Bowl" by Carol Schiff

Today's effort is a small bowl of roses.  I got very bogged dow in detail on this one.

Purchase here
165 + shipping
I am still trying to find that special balance between too loose and too tight.  Although I think this painting has merit, I do plan to use it as a jumping off place for another work.  Maybe next time I will hit that sweet spot I am looking for.

Small Coneflower Painting, Flower Painting, Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Floral Landscape

I planted coneflower (echinacea) around my home in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  So...of course, I had to paint them too.

purchase here

I find them to be easy to grown, and cheerful, with their giant heads and quirky style.

I painted several coneflower paintings last summer, in many sizes and styles.  Somehow, this little one was overlooked and never posted.




I tried to keep it fresh and simple, painting with a large brush.  I also tried to keep the colors harmonized.




All in all, I feel good about the results.  Hope you like it too.

Have a blessed day!

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, "Golden Palm" by Carol Schiff, 16x20" Oil, SOLD

I was going through some of my old files, and found this tropical Landscape painting that I did several years ago.  I was in morning light, in an area covered with palmettos.  I was fascinated by the play of light on the palm fronds, forming beautiful abstract shapes.

I worked very hard on this one, to get the dramatic values that I wanted.
