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.
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.
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.
All in all, I feel good about the results. Hope you like it too.
Have a blessed day!

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

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.

Rose Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Oil
This is a little painting I did recently. I was experimenting with using safflower oil as a medium. I normally paint using only a touch of turps when I want to free up the paint a little, but have decided to try another technique.
I can see it will take a little adjustment on my part, as I tend to use too much oil and get some soupy paint. However, I like the over all effect and the nice finish it leaves. No more varnish needed!

The down side is it requires drying time and of course, there is the fire hazard. I have been told to put my rags and paper towels in a plastic bag at the end of the day and wet them down with water to make sure they don't spontaneously combust. I also have one of those fire proof trash cans, so I will use both methods to keep the studio (and my house) safe.

| 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. |
