Flower Painting, Spring Floral, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil on Panel
I visited the Biltmore Conservatory, here in Asheville, and found inspiration, in every direction!
 |
| Purchase Here I was not finished with this scene! I wanted to do another version, so I cropped my original image and returned to the easel. |
 |
| (contact me to purchase this piece) Maybe, it was the color combination, but I still had more to say. This time I started with a complete abstract, nothing but color. As I painted, it became a little more realistic. I did my best to stop before over-working the piece. |
 |
| Purchase a giclee print here. I enjoyed the progression. Which one do you prefer? Carol Schiff www.CarolSchiffStudio.etsy.com www.CarolSchiffStudio.blogspot.com |

A Touch of Spring in the Mountains
We have just left the beaches of Florida and moved to the mountains of western North Carolina. I am reposting this from a few years ago, as I am still trying to make our new house a home. PS: This is a preview of what our surroundings will look like in a few weeks...no blooms yet!
Everyone loves a touch of spring this time of the year....enjoy!
One afternoon I grabbed my camera and ran outside to capture the beautiful spring day and this is what I found.
I inherited a garden in front of our new home, and everything was coming alive at once...
Fiddleheads were popping up
Dogwood was blooming everywhere I
looked in both pink.....
and white blossoms. Tulips, lilac and azalea were everywhere and the days were filled with the music of songbirds.
A drive to WaterRock Knob, off the Blue Ridge Parkway, showed less color at the higher elevation, but still beautiful to see.
For an Ohio girl, who has spent most of the last 50 years in Florida, it seemed all my memories of spring were spread out before my eyes. Don't get me wrong, I truly love living in Florida, but when spring or fall calls, I head to the mountains.
Stay tuned, to see these images interpreted in oil.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Spring in the Mountains
We have just returned home from a few weeks in the mountains of western North Carolina. Earlier this year, we sold our second home there and replaced it with a condo in Waynesville. We have been working hard, getting moved into the condo, painting every wall in sight and making it feel like home.
One afternoon I grabbed my camera and ran outside to capture the beautiful spring day and this is what I found.
I inherited a garden in front of our new home, and everything was coming alive at once...

Dogwood was blooming everywhere I looked in both pink.....
and white blossoms. Tulips, lilac and azalea were everywhere and the dats were filled with the music of songbirds.

Glorious Tabebuia, A Bright Yellow Blooming Tree by Judy Batterson, Florida Artist
We had a beautiful blooming of tabebuia trees in Florida this spring. This tree was by my house. The yellow blooms were like flowering sunshine! Now on exhibit at Leu Gardens, Orlando, FL, in my "For the Love of Florida" show until July 9.
