Story of a commission
When I work on a painting commission, it is always with a mix of excitement and fear. Will I produce the painting my client is expecting?
Recently I recieved a request for a 30x40" commission. The client had already purchased a small 8x10" and wanted a similar scene. She especially liked the sky.
I painted a small study of what I thought the client was asking for....focus on the sky and a more interesting marsh area.
Nix! The sky is much to gaudy for the client, and could I please add some birds.
This had a better reception, but perhaps a few more herons?
Here we are getting closer, but the client felt the flying heron was too distracting to the sunset.
I photo shopped the offending bird out of the composition and got the go ahead! This is the completed 30x40" canvas which the client is totally happy with.
Most clients have sent me a photo image of exactly the scene they are looking for. I found this trial and error system has worked well for me when there is no photo image to work from.
I would love to hear how others handle this situation.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Abstract Seascape | Daily Painting | "Tropical Blues" by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD
Living close to the sea, I find it turns up in my painting in both a representative and non-representative form. I guess this little daily painting falls somewhere between the two.
I painted this with a palette knife. I like texture and feel it adds additional interest to my art. I was thinking about the beautiful greens and blues of the tropical waters off the coast of Florida. Further south they turn the most amazing shades of azure, but that will be another painting.

BUT A PRINT
I almost always show my paintings in black frames. It would be hard to find an artwork that would not work well with black and it just makes the colors pop.
Start planning that tropical vacation today!

Wildlife Art Insect, Nature "MADAGASCAN SUNSET MOTH" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe
The Madagascan Sunset Moth looks like a butterfly because of its beautiful iridescent colors but it is classified in the scientific world as a moth. Moths and butterflies belong to the classification of Insects called Lepidoptera. Lepidoptera is a latin word which means "scaled wing". When magnified under a microscope the scales of the wing structure are easy to see. For this series of paintings I did the background by looking under a microscope and drew the individual wing pattern and structure in pencil while placing the colorful butterfly on the surface in watercolor. The original has been sold but is available in 3 sizes of fine art reproduction canvas prints. Please look through the rest of the gallery to see other images from the series. They make a great sets for your home decor.

Tulip Painting, Floral Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x6" Oil on Canvas Panel
I found a video on Youtube of Nancy Medina, the flower queen, painting a tulip. So, I decided to try painting along with the video.
Of course, her technique looks very effortless, which didn't happen with me. Of course, her results are perfection, which didn't happen with me. Of course, she has done it thousands of times..........ditto.
All in all, I think it was a fun experience and I am hoping I found a little something that I can continue to use.
We are so fortunate to be part of the first generation of artists with all the wonderful learning experiences the internet can provide for us.
Have a great day!

ZACK - SOLD
I like to paint animals. One client came to me with three white standard poodles and commissioned portraits of each. As much of an animal lover as I am, I was not sure I could capture the personalities of three individual but identical dogs. My client was very happy and recognized each dog from his portrait. They are some of my favorite animal portraits.

Floral Still Life Painting, "Cup O Tulips" my Carol Schiff, 6x8" Oil SOLD
I'm a little late posting this floral still life painting.....tulips are usually not in sight this time of year! Or, maybe I am just early....yes, I like that, I'm posting it early.
Check out the photo below. That is an arrangement of evergreens and cranberries next to the painting. Yes, it was Christmas time when I painted and photographed it!
I was happy to find it as I like the chunky brushwork and shapes. I hope you do too! Now, I've got to design a better inventory system!
Arrivederci

Wildlife Art,Reptile, Nature "Senor Iguana" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe
This iguana painting is not a painting of just any iguana, but my rescued iguana, named Father Mulcahy! Father M came to live with me after he got too big for his aquarium. He was over 4 feet long and loved to be part of the family. I had a house full of rescue cats and he fit right in. He loved to chase the cats throughout the house and bask in the sun on top of the cat condo. He was a sweet and intelligent animal that responded to human touch and loved to watch television.... his favorite show was M*A*S*H! When he passed away I was heartbroken and painted his portrait to show how gentle and beautiful he was. The painting was included in Splash 15 by North Light Books. The original painting is available as well as canvas prints

Abstract Landscape, "Day is Done", 6x8" Oil Abstract SOLD
It is early evening in the Florida marsh and the sun is just about to disappear.
I snapped my photo and high-tailed it out of there before the creepy crawlies came out.
I enjoy a lot of texture in my work and find that abstraction is the perfect media to portray it.
Do you find that your goals in art change as you continue on your artistic journey?

Animal Oil Painting, "DUCKS GALORE" by Carol Schiff, 12x24" Oil. SOLD
A very nice lady from Alabama sent me images of her family's six black ducks, along with a request that I paint them for her.
www.CarolSchiffStudio.Etsy.com
 |
| SOLD |
Actually, the images only had five ducks. One of the ducks had gone to ducky heaven and she wanted to include him (her) too. I liked this image because all the ducks were looking in one direction. I added the missing duck on the end, as though he had reappeared and the others were greeting him back into the flock.
If you relate to the missing duck...I hope you find your flock soon :)
