Small Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Beach Music" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil
Living close to the sea, it is no surprise that I paint a lot of seascapes. The sea and mountains have one thing in common....they never look the same from day to day or even minute to minute. Fascinating and beautiful!
Life gets busy and sometimes I don't visit the beach for months at a time. When I finally get there, it is like visiting an old friend. I always vow to get back more often.

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.

Recently Sold Paintings, Daily Paintings, Small Oil Paintings
I was looking back through my sales for the end of the year, and thought I would post some original paintings that have sold.
These are all original paintings.
It is easy to spot a trend with sales of prints, but not so much for originals.

Daily Paintings on Sale, Small Oil Painting Sale, Out with the Old and In with the New!
I am trying to lighten my life! Every year, after the New Year, I have the urge to clean, organize, discard. I love the sight of empty shelves in my closets.
So, this morning, I decided to clean out my studio. The first thing I did, was go to my Etsy site and create a new section on my site. "SALE- 30 Dollars and Up". Here are a few of the pieces that are currently on sale.

A Daily Painter Questions the BIG PLAN
Traditionally, January 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 2017 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!

Daily Painting, Original Seascape, "Off Shore Storm" by Carol Schiff 6x8" Oil
The other day my husband and I went for a walk on the beach. Although it was sunny when we left home, ten minutes later black clouds were rolling in over the waves.
The clouds had not yet completely obscured the horizon leaving a strip of aqua sunlight on the sea.
When I came home, I went straight to the easel, painting this from memory.

In the Surf, 11x14" Child Oil Painting,Daily Painting,Small Oil Painting , Figurative Painting SOLD
It may seem an odd time to post a child playing in the surf, for many of you, but here in the land of sunshine, anything is possible.
Actually this was a commission and also a surprise for the lucky Dad.

The face is in shadow and her pony tail did not show in the photo, so we had to make our own.
My favorite part of this composition was the great reflections in the water.
