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.

Sky Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil Painting
An early morning beach photo shoot was the inspiration for this piece. Thank you to Pat Garvey for sharing his image with me.
One of the biggest problems of selling art online, is representing your art with correct colors. I didn't realize how big a problem this would be.
I tried for over an hour to edit this piece correctly, and was only partially successful. Blues seem to be the colors that always give me problems in my photography.
The image above is washed out compared to the actual piece, which is sitting here next to me. My problem was trying to get the blue gray on the lower right corner to read correctly...which is right on with my monitor. But that means I have lost some beautiful warm rust and mauve hues in the dark cloud.
In this detail, the mauves and orangey rust shades are correct, but the blue on the right side is way too strong. Also the pale yellows are not warm enough. What to do? I have no answers.
Even if I am able to get the colors correct on my monitor, they may not be what you are seeing on your monitor.
So I do my best to represent what I see and offer my customers a full refund if they are unhappy.
I think most buyers understand this issue as fortunately, I have not had a painting returned in almost 10 years.
If any of you have a solution, I would love to hear it.
After writing this post, I tried again to edit my image, and finally have settled on this as the best representation of the painting. It is better, but still does not reflect all the color variations.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

Abstract Painting, Four Seasons Art, Summer Painting, Daily Painting Small Oil Painting, 4x12x.75" Oil
 |
| Purchase here Are you old enough to remember the Four Seasons series, usually some type of wall decor, and almost always involving a tree in each of the seasons of the year? My goal was to use only color to represent each season. In this piece, I thought of bright blue skies, long hot summer days, turquoise seas, pink sunsets. I created plenty of texture for added interest. Two more seasons to do!! Have a great day, in any season. Carol Schiff www.CarolSchiffStudio.blogspot.com |

Apple on Tree Landscape, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil Painting SOLD
During our stay in the mountains last month, we visited the apple orchard several times. The apples are great, but the bakery is my favorite.......apple cider doughnuts, apple cake and apple fritters...YUM!
I like to think this apple ended up in one of my favorite goodies.
The weather is beautiful and we really appreciate the sunny, cool days. Perfect fall weather. We really appreciate it after spending a week in Florida with humid weather and a major hurricane.
Have a great day.

Daily Painting, Shell Still Life, "Queen Conch" by Carol Schiff, 8x10" Oil SOLD
I found this Queen Conch shell on the beach during a trip to the Abaco Islands. The Abaco Islands are a small, but beautiful chain of quaint islands off the shore of Florida. Easy to travel to and with all beautiful unspoiled beaches, great fishing and diving and just plain relaxing. They are not on the tourist route, which is an added bonus.
I placed it in an east facing window one morning, and got a remarkable glow as the sun shone through the shell. It seemed to be on fire and I tried to capture that beauty here.
Maybe not quite as nice as a trip to the islands, but a close second! Every time I see it, I can feel sand between my toes.

Cow Painting, Daily Painting, "Bovine Portrait" by Carol Schiff, 11x14 Oil on Linen
A client wanted a cow painting, for licensing purposes. I usually do daily painting of still life or landscape, but I have to admit I enjoyed both the horse, they originally chose, and this cow painting.
I painted on Senso linen canvas. I had a pad of the linen around for several years but didn't really know what to do with it. I found it had a different texture than the cotton canvas I usually paint on, but once I got into the painting, it was fine.
My next problem was what to do with this unstretched painting. After surveying several friends, I mounted it on a cradled wood panel. I was told the perfect glue to use is YES GLUE available at craft stores. I had some in my stash and I have to say it worked like a charm. Then I trimmed the edges with a exacto knife and it turned out perfectly. Now I can use the rest of my Senso linen canvas with no fear!
So, today I stretched my limits, both with the Senso canvas and the cow painting, and luckily both worked out for me!

Yellow Roses, 11x14 Floral Still Life Oil on Canvas Panel
Roses
are challenging, and so is that yellow teapot. This is a very warm
painting, and I think that's why I like it. The red pear adds a dash of
hot color.

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

Fruit Still Life, Kitchen Decor, "Breakfast Berries" by Carol Schiff, 8x8" Oil
I love bacon and eggs, but some days, I crave a big bowl of berries. That is what I was thinking about when I painted this fruit still life.
We are so fortunate to have wonderful fresh produce available year round in our markets. I know local is better, but given the choice of blueberries one month of the year, or all year, I know what I will choose.
In this set up, I piled them high in my favorite pottery berry bowl. I took it all to my Monday morning painting group and set it under the spotlight. We all painted the same set up and it is always fun to view the setting from another view and to see how others paint it. On some days simple is better!
