Small Seascape with Sunrise Painting, Textured Palette Knife Art, 6x8" Oil Seascape SOLD
Today I am posting one of my favorite subjects, the beach!
In my opinion, one of the best reasons to live in Florida, is to be able to grab a cup of coffee, and head for the beach to see the sunrise.
The beach is usually empty....maybe I will see a lone fisherman. For the most part, only the birds are there to keep you company. It is so serene and calming. The perfect way to start your day. I cannot think of a better way to spend an early morning hour.
I hope you have a wonderful day today!

Small Seascape, Wave Painting, Daily Painting, Small oil painting, "Cresting", 8x8x1.5"
For lovers of the sea!
I did a few small paintings where I focused in on a wave, instead of my usual long distance view. I was not sure they would be successful, but they both sold quickly. Both clients have similar reactions to them.....they felt the paintings revived wonderful memories of their times in or on the ocean. I decided to try a few more.
I have a few more seascapes to show you soon. I hope you enjoy this one!

Expressionist Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12" Oil on Canvas Seascape, SOLD
Well probably your 5 yr old kid could do this....right? Maybe that is why I enjoy it so much.
I may be a slow learner, because it took me many years to get to this point. Mama never said I was the sharpest knife in the drawer.
All kidding aside, I really love the freedom of this piece. Instead of leaving the studio feeling like I have been fighting for hours, I felt very relaxed, happy and ready to sail through the day. I think I need to do this more often!
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Small Seascape, Daily Painting,, Small Oil Painting, "Favorite Beach", 6x8" Oil
Few things in life are as soothing to me as watching clouds move over the mountains. Walking on the beach is one of those things. What is it about these scenes that makes them so appealing?
Is it the endless repetition? Rather hypnotising, don't you think? Maybe it is the everlasting beauty of the scenes.....the permanence.
I don't have the answer, but I know I know I enjoy painting the scenes almost as much as being there, taking a deep breath of that sea breeze or crisp mountain air.
Enjoy the day....whereever you are!

Small Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil "Crashing Wave" by Carol Schiff Studio SOLD
In the past, I painted lots of seascapes, but in recent years, my focus has been on landscapes and flowers. Today, I went back to my roots....kind of.
I wanted to do a seascape, but something different than the past. I found one of my images of the surf and cropped it very closely.
I tried to paint with a variety of strokes and get plenty of action into the scene. I finished with scattering some "foam" . I enjoyed trying to bring something new to an old subject.

Daily Painting, Seascape Painting, Ocean Painting, Beach Painting, "Celebrating Blue" 16x20x1.5" Oil SOLD
I wanted to do a seascape, or actually a beach painting, somewhere between an abstract and impressionism. If this looks a little familiar, it is because I posted the study for this work a month or two ago.
I wanted to record just my memories and impressions of trips to the beach. I painted with a knife and tried to work quickly.
I tried not to think too much about the colors I was using or where I was putting them, but tried to keep it really instinctive.
I wanted plenty of texture in this piece.
It was a fun exercise, although I wish I had done a larger piece. Maybe someday I will.

Seascape Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Wave Painting, "Wall of Water" 16x20x.75" Oil SOLD
Lately, I have been painting seascapes. I always love painting and viewing seascapes. It's almost as soothing to me as a trip to the beach.
Of course, the first step for me IS a trip to the beach. I pick a day with my trusty camera and head for the sand. I count myself lucky if I get a few interesting shots.
For this painting, I used images from a trip to Barbados.

Abstract Sea Painting, Palette Knife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x16x.75" Oil, SOLD
We are happy to be back in Florida, and I wanted to mark the occasion with a new abstract.
I really enjoyed creating this art. Sometimes it is nice to just get in the zone, no particular plan, and let the subconscious take over.
I love playing with paint and these represent some of my favorite colors. I didn't plan to do a seascape, but it feels like one, especially of the tropical waters in the Caribbean Islands.
The last few months have been hectic for me. This is just what I needed to calm me down.
Have a great day and thanks for reading my blog.

Abstract Seascape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Tropical Ocean 8x8x1.5"
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.

Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Pink Clouds" , 11x14x1.5" Oil
I live close to the sea, and it turns up quite often in my art. Nothing gets me up faster than a fabulous sunrise...grab a cup of coffee and head for the beach, camera in hand.
Yes, I said grab my camera, not my paints. I am a studio painter. I quickly get overwhelmed with plein aire and have no desire to try it again. Give me my air conditioning, plumbing and subject matter that doesn't change.
For years, I felt I was not a "real artist" and hid my shameful secret. Actually, I have so much respect for artists that strap a 36x48" canvas on their back and then hike 7,000 feet to the top of a mountain to paint. Such dedication, and yes, the light cannot be duplicated. But, neither can those special effects you can capture with a camera.
My choices are paint in a studio, or don't paint.....and I am happy with the choice I made. To each his own!
Thanks for reading my rant today :)

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Seascape Painting, 12x12x1.5" Oil
I am still in a seascape frame of mind.
This is worked with a palette knife. I enjoy lots of texture, so I left it on this piece. Maybe it is more of a skyscape? Maybe it is more abstract or impressionistic? Whatever it is, it reflects my mood at the time, whicch I think, is the point of painting.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Small Seascape, "Celebrating Blue" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I worked this small seascape with a knife, trying to mimic the action of the waves with my strokes.
I usually work from images on my computer, but this time the image was in my head. I tried to fill the canvas with shades of blues and greens, and also to suggest a little of the beach.
I feel I captured the spirit of the waves rushing to shore, and I must say, it was a most enjoyable experience. I plan to try this technique again.

Small Seascape Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" impasto painting
I don't know how you start your days, but, whenever possible, I love to grab my camera and a cup of coffee and head to the beach to watch the sun come up. With a morning like that, it is impossible to have a bad day!
I like texture in my art and one of my favorite tricks, is to take a failed painting, leave the texture and use the panel again. Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
Many artists use their canvases more than once, but convential wisdom is you must sand it down. I
sometimes do that too, but if I want to do a little expressionism, I say, why destroy all that lovely texture?

Panoramic Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Impressionist Seascape, 8x16x.75" Oil
I am trying to break my current addiction to painting flowers, so I dug through my files and found a great image of the ocean. I have a new (for me) size canvas, 8x16" that I thought would work well for the image.
I have to admit, I enjoyed painting this scene. My choices of subject matter are always based on emotion and on this day......the waves filled my need for action.
Thanks for reading my blog today....If I were in Florida, I'd be off to the beach.
