My Trip to Three Sister Vineyards

Do you remember my announcement that my painting has been selected for a wine lable?  Well here it is, in all it's glory!  It is a pineapple infused chardonnay, and my new favorite wine.

 Thank you to Three Sisters Vineyards for choosing my work for their label!

Naturally, I had to make a trip to the vineyard, and I am so happy I did.

Three Sisters Vineyard in Dahlonega, GA is a great experience  for everyone. This weekend, they have food trucks and live music.

The grounds are charming.

The new barn for events of all kinds, including weddings.

The perfect place to enjoy your bottle of wine.....just outside the tasting room.

Touches of Fall are everywhere.  We Floridians eat that up!

Inside the tasting room, we were warmly greeted by the family.  Did I mention this is a family business?  Can you tell everyone is enjoying their selections.

There is no end to the charming views of this historic property.

184 acres of North Georgia Mountain vineyard beauty and the oldest continuously operated vineyard and winery on the Dahlonega Plateau.

Overlooked by Three Sisters Mountains

It was not easy pulling my husband away.  Neither of us wanted to end this wonderful and relaxing afternoon.

A special thanks to Doug and Sharon for sharing their fabulous piece of heaven.

Tropical Landscape Painting, Daily Painting, Florida Painting, "Conchy Joe's" by Carol Schiff, 16x20" Oil

The original has sold, but I am pleased to be able to offer a giclee print at the link under the image.

The eatery is still there, but under a new name and for me, much of the charm has been lost.  I am glad I painted this scene, while it was a popular and vibrant location, filled with local memorabilia.

This painting was featured as the Art Works poster art several years ago.

Small Tree Painting, "My Morning Companion" 6x8" SOLD

When I spend time in the Smoky Mountains, I start many of my days on the porch, with a cup of coffee.  It's a special time of day as the sun streams in over the mountains and starts to burn off the protective layer of "smoke" from the night before.

SOLD

It's just me, my coffee, and this old dogwood tree that sits in our yard.  A very nice way to start the day.

Soon the sun will rise over the mountain tops and light will stream in behind the tree.  My little special moment of the morning is gone and it is time to start my day.

Do you have a special moment each morning?

Impressionism Seascape,Coastal Art Painting "Unexpected Pathway" by Florida Impressionism Artist Annie St Martin

 Softly swaying, this lone palm caught my attention. Have I ever walked down this pathway  before? The sand is so soft and deep.  It appears I'm the first to travel this path in a while,  there are no prints  before mine. The atmosphere has a misty quality,  almost as though a  gentle rain is about to burst  from the Heavens.   Finding this pathway...pure joy!12"x16" Oil on Canvas

Flower Painting | Floral Still Life | Small Oil Painting | Rhododendron by Carol Schiff 6x8 Oil

Still painting flowers!  Hope you have not tired of them yet.  I will try to break up the flower posts with other subject matter, just to keep you awake.

$95 + 6.50

This petite bouquet of rhododendron blossoms grew next to my house in the Blue Ridge Mountains.  I snipped a few and placed them in a jelly jar on my kitchen window sill.  I love the effect of the darkened flowers with the bright light flowing in behind them.

My goal with these little works is to keep strong basic shapes and let the viewer's eye fill in missing pieces.  As you can see from this photo, the paint is thick and the strokes are few.

Original Contemporary Modern Art Abstract Paintings by Filomena de Andrade Booth

 

Celebration

36"x36"x1.5"

Acrylic on textured canvas

Sold

 

I sold this painting earlier this year to a collector who lives right on the Gulf of Mexico.  It was such a great choice for her home.  It coordinated with everything in the room and added a real dramatic "punch" of  color to her decor.  

Art can make a room sparkle, whether  you favor a traditional or more modern style, don't be afraid to take a chance with bright, bold color.

Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Mountain Landscape Painting, 6x8" Oil, "High in the Sky"

If you live in Colorado, you probably don't consider 6,000+ feet as high in the sky.  That is the altitude of Water Rock Knob, North Carolina, which is depicted in this daily painting

purchase here
110 + shipping

I returned from a week touring Colorado.  It is incredibly beautiful and wild.  Where else can you go to see a herd of antelope grazing, or big horn sheep!  The prairie is as gorgeous as the mountains.  I wasn't expecting the beauty of rolling hills, of mother deer with their fawns walking through the waist high grasses.

But this painting is from a kinder, gentler mountain.  What is high in the Blue Ridge is a starting point in the Rockies!  I love both places.  Being a flatlander, I feel blessed to be able to visit these stunning landscapes.

Springtime Wishes

24"x36"x1.5"

Acrylic on heavily textured canvas

 Sold

 

In my last blog I wrote about the chaos at our house due to remodeling the master bath and painting the inside and outside of our home.  Well, we're finally starting to see the end of the tunnel as the painters finish up their work.  But, all this has taken a toll on me, my hubby and even our 2 cats!  Poor girls keep running from one corner of the house to the other, trying to find a safe haven.  I sometimes wish I could hide under a bed with them too!  It's been well over a month since all this turmoil began, but in the end, it will be worth it.

 

I'm looking forward to getting back into my studio again.  So many new ideas are swirling around in my head, just waiting to bust loose.  Have you ever had times when your creativity was just waiting to explode but couldn't because of so many other priorities in your life?  I guess we've all been through those times when we've had to put aside our own desires in order to take care of other things that seemed more important at the time.   

I am very excited about the coming year...once all this election stuff settles down!  I have a couple of Go Big Go Bold abstract painting workshops booked and am also starting to schedule private painting workshops in my own home studio!
