I put this chart far away from me and looked at it until I saw something in it--and that something was a mermaid. I elaborated on that until this denizen of the deep appeared.

Mountain Sunset Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Blue Ridge Sunset" by Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
This mountain sunset painting is a result of our most recent trip to Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. We were there for the beautiful leaf viewing season, and it was spectacular! We came home to Florida on Halloween and missed the incredible 22" of snow that accumulated the next day. I am sure that cut the leaf season short.
Here in Florida, we don't have falling leaves, or snow. That has not stopped us from getting in the Christmas spirit. If you have an art lover on your list, check out my Etsy shop. I have a large selection of original paintings as well as gift certificates.

The leaves were not the only spectacular sight! I find the mountains as fascinating as the ocean with it's constantly changing moods.
This is me, having fun!!
This month, we will be making our first winter trip to our North Carolina home....I am hoping to see that beautiful landscape covered in snow.

Still Life Bottle Painting, "Fluer de Lis" by Carol Schiff, 6x18x1.5" Oil
I like to collect bottles, so, it is a natural for me to do a still life bottle painting. I like the fluer de lis on the bottle as well as the bold gold color.
Painting this bottle was a challenge for me, but photographing the results was even more frustrating. Try as I might, I could not get the correct background color to show. The image above is much too blue while the one below seems more accurate.
Thank you for viewing my still life bottle painting today and please feel free to pin it if you so desire.

Seascape Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, "Beach Memories" , 11x14" Oil, SOLD
I created this small seascape from my memories of the beautiful beaches that surround us here in the state of Florida.
I painted with a brush and pallet knife to show texture in the waves rushing to shore and the sea oats rising above the protective dunes.
The more I travel, the more I am in awe of our beautiful world, including the beauty of my home state. It is so easy to forget the beauty that surrounds you. Take a moment today to find your beauty.
Thank you for reading my blog.

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.
SOLD |

For the time being, I have hung this on my studio wall. It transports me to the sea each time I see it.
Isn't art wonderful?!
