Floral Landscape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting "Summer Wildflowers", 6x8" Oil on Panel
One of my guilty pleasures, when I am in the Blue Ridge Mountains, is my morning walk, which inspired this painting.
Of course, I also admire the songbirds and gorgeous, towering, hardwood trees. It's not really a guilty pleasure, as it is hard work walking 4 miles when at least half of it is up the side of a mountain.

| purchase here You would have to live a summer or two in Florida, to understand how much I enjoy walking in mid 70's temps in the middle of summer. |

Where Am I Going?, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Paintings
Traditionally, this time of the year, is when we evaluate our performance, over the last twelve months, and look at the direction we are headed.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Brushwork?
Knife?
Really thin paint?
Artistically, I see nothing but question marks. I want to have a clear plan, a path to follow and mark my progress, but alas, it evades me.
I looked through my posts from last year, and picked out my favorite pieces, hoping against hope that they will tell me where I am headed.
Abstract Expressionism?
Maybe....
Thick Paint?
Impressionism?
Really thin paint?
Or does it really matter?
All this thinking is making my head hurt!
I am happy I found this many pieces, from last year, that speak to ME. I am happy with them which makes me happy with me.
Maybe 2020 will find me treading the straight and narrow.....but somehow, I don't think so.
Thank you all, for joining me on my crazy, unplanned journey!
Hubby keeps me grounded!

Window Flower Box Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "My Flower Box", 6x8" Oil, sold
I think everyone loves window flower boxes, overflowing with beautiful flowers.
This small daily painting is from a memory of Cape Cod, where it seems everyone has flower boxes. It is painted on canvas panel, in oil paint, and finished with a light coat of varnish.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Flower Painting, "Country Style" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil on Panel
When I am in Florida, I go to the store, purchase flowers, bring them home and try to arrange them perfectly in a beautiful vase.
When I am in North Carolina, I go to the garden, or just pick some wildflowers, plop them in a small milk bottle or jelly jar.......that's what I call "Country Style".
I tried to keep that laid back feel in the painting too, using both a brush and a palette knife.
Then, I brought it back to Florida, to remind me to relax and chill now and then.
Thanks for reading my blog today. I hope you get to "chill" a little too.

| SOLD Roses have always been difficult for me. This time I tried to channel Elio. I was determined not to describe each petal, I did my best to remember the softness and translucency of a rose petal. I wanted to pop the colors, but, not too much. Finally, I made myself stop! Yes, I like this one.....and I hope you do too. |

Apple Blossom Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 9x12x.75 Flower Painting SOLD
A trip to the apple orchard in Waynesville, NC provided me with plenty of reference photos. How inspiring to see acre after acre of apple trees in full bloom!
I am back in Waynesville, now, but there are no apple blossoms in sight...........just mile after mile of pumpkins and gorgeous Red Maple Trees in their full fall colors.
Growing up in NW Ohio, I always looked forward to fall with it's magnificent display of color. When I moved to Florida at age 18, I didn't miss it at all. Now that I am a grandmother of college age kids, I missed it a lot!!
Each fall, I try to spend time in the North Carolina Smoky Mountains to feed my need for autumn.
Have a colorful day!

MY Painting in the Joker Movie!, Small Oil Paintings, Daily Painting, Still Life Painting,
How lucky can I be?
One of my paintings was recently purchased for set design in a new movie! The Warner Brothers movie, was filmed in Harlem, Manhattan and the Bronx., and stars Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro. The title is "Joker".
The painting is one I completed in a workshop a few years back.
I am thrilled, and only hope it doesn't end up on the cutting room floor.
The movie was recently released, and I must say, IT WAS A GIANT HIT!!
