Abstract Daily Painting, 8x8" "INDECISION", SOLD



Every once in a while I have to try something abstract.  This one is all about texture and the red under painting.



I mixed sand from the beach into the gesso.



It's always fun to experiment, especially when I start to take my painting a little too seriously.

This piece is sold, but is available as a giclee canvas print here.

Daily Paintings, Small Oil Painting, Landscape Painting, "A Few Recent Sales"

I have been working long and hard in the studio, trying to complete a few projects before we head for the hills (better known as the Smoky Mountains) in June.

In spite of all my hard work, I don't have any paintings that are photographed and ready to post on the blog this morning.  Soooooo, I thought I would do something a little different, and show you what has been selling for me.

My prints


This guy is always popular as a giclee canvas print.



A collector in Canada, wanted a tropical memory in her home.  Or maybe a tropical daydream!





A sweet husband surprised his wife with this marsh painting.  She loves marshes.


See it here

My client liked this canvas print so well, she is ordering one for her mother, too.  "King of the Flock" is one of my best selling prints.




"The Green Sea" is happily residing in Brooklyn.......




along with "Golden Marsh".  Thank you, Connor, for repeatedly supporting my art.

So that's it for today.  Goal for today....photograph paintings!

Thanks for visiting.

Cityscape Painting "Cafe St Martin" by Florida Impressionism Artist Annie St Martin

FRESH OFF THE EASEL...




A Cafe of my imagination...somewhere in a special town in Rhode Island. The East Side, Newport, or any of the historic waterfront towns, like Wickford Harbour would be a dream come true. I think it should be a cozy B&B. Maybe I should move it to another climate...say Key West? I think it's time to stop daydreaming, after all, I need to prepare for my someday Gallery.

Friends

I sometimes think back to when I was raising a family, working in an office everyday, just rushing from one project to the next, trying to get everything done that needed to be done.
.trying to fit everything into the day, but instead of doing everything that needed to be done, I am doing everything I WANT to get done.

A large part of my life today is about art, and a large part of my art is about my friends, "Pieces of Eight".  We are eight women of a certain age, who found each other through our art.  We paint together every week at Ralph's Art Supply.

Our group blog

We do exhibitions together, we travel together, we paint together, and we never fail to support each other in good times and bad.

After a few hours painting and catching up with each other's week, we have lunch together.



We put the names of all the local eatery's in a bag and each week we draw a name and that is where we have lunch.  Why?  Have you ever tried to get 8 women to agree on anything?  Trust me, everyone has an opinion!


This was our luncheon view yesterday.....just in case we forget why we live in Florida!

These women are definitely a blessing in my life, and I just wanted to share it with you today.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Florida Landscape, Daily Painting, "Sunlit Plams" by Carol Schiff, 10x8x.75" Oil

This is a scene I see everyday in Florida.  When the sun is low in the sky, the entire landscape is bathed in golden light.  An  uninteresting sight, like this clump of palm trees, takes center stage.

purchase here
150 + shipping


This is just one of the perks that art has brought to my life.....the ability to really see....to take notice of the beauty that surrounds me.  Not just the obvious like a glowing sunset or a beautiful flower garden, but the magic that can happen to a clump of palm trees that I have walked by day after day.



 Pin it


What brings joy to your life?  A puppy....a touch...a new morning?

Small Floral Still Life, "Cindy's Geranium's" 6x8" Oil Painting SOLD

The weather has been rather dark and gloomy lately, so today I am posting a bright and cheery painting.  I hope it brightens your day!

SOLD



I was able to enjoy these geraniums last summer while visiting my friend, Cindy, at her mountain retreat.  The scenery was stunning from her balcony and every morning the sun would strike these flowers and make them glow.  The perfect place to sit and have that morning coffee.


I almost always show my paintings in a simple black frame.  I think it really allows the colors to pop and doesn't distract from the painting.  Since I also tone my canvases in black, it adds another dimension to the painting too.  What type of frames to do use on your work?

 I chose his very famous "Wheatfield with Cypresses" . Actually, I chose one of three similar paintings that carry that name.

 I have always wanted to give his famous and distinctive swirling brushwork a try.  It was an interesting experiment, one that I will probably do again.


Years ago, I spent some time studying the masters  and duplicating some of their works.  I found it to be very informative.  Here is one of my attempts at Degas' work, "Woman Bathing"
