Trying hard to put into practice the techniques Elio Camacho tries to push into my head. Brushwork, color relations, composition, the bride! Not sure if I was successful, but, there is always tomorrow! Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Coral Rose Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Impressionist art
I recently took a 3 day workshop from my favorite instructor, Elio Comacho, where we painted fresh flowers every day.
Since I usually paint from the computer monitor, it is always a challenge to paint from life. I do enjoy it, but, I know myself well enough to know that I need the advantage of having an image available whenever I want it.
When I paint flowers on my monitor, I tend to get tighter. That does bother me.
Both of these were painted using my monitor. I am not unhappy, but I hope to see improvement down the road.
Hope you have a rosey day!

Dolphin Painting, Wildlife Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 6x8" Original Oil
This was a fun painting for me. Maybe it's the subject matter, but I smiled the whole time.
Last summer, we spent a few days in Key Largo, with our grandson. The one thing he was really looking forward to was swimming with the dolphins. He loved every minute of it and later told me he had met a life long goal by doing so. (He was 13).
While I was watching, I snapped this shot of one of the dolphins, and have had it on my list of subjects to paint for months.
Sometimes, many times, I find myself putting off certain subjects, afraid that I am not accomplished enough to do them justice. Such was the case here.
I am happy I finally gave it a try, and was pleased with the results. I will have to push myself more in the future, when I find myself backing off a subject that I am unfamiliar with.
Hope you have a great day!

Swan Oil Painting, Daily Painting, "Swan Reflections" by Carol Schiff, 16x20x.75 Oil
On most mornings, I take a walk around the neighborhood. Everyday, I would pass this beautiful creature and his mate, gliding across the water of a small pond. When I saw the photograph I was able to take, I knew I would want to paint it.
I painted with brush and palette knife and was able to obtain a nicely textured surface to indicate the water.
The background, which was difficult to photograph correctly, is a mixture of a rich brown and a greenish dark.

| detail I have done several paintings using the reference images I took that day. One is a 11x14 pastel and one is a 6x8 oil. I am glad I had my camera that day because the birds are gone now. I like to think they just flew away. Thank you for viewing my daily painting today. I hope you will pin it! |

Botanical Fine Art Painting, Nature,Butterfly "MILKWEED MONARCH" The Art of Nature, Fine Art by Mindy Lighthipe
The milkweed plant genus (asclepias) is the life source for monarch butterflies. The monarch lays one egg per leaf and can lay up to 500 eggs. The milkweed will host the monarch through all its life stages. It belongs to a group of butterflies, called Danadiae, which are called “milkweed butterflies.” The milkweed plant contains a sticky, milk-like fluid that has a bitter taste. This helps the monarch protect itself from predators.

Small Seascape, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Oil "Crashing Wave" by Carol Schiff Studio SOLD
In the past, I painted lots of seascapes, but in recent years, my focus has been on landscapes and flowers. Today, I went back to my roots....kind of.
I wanted to do a seascape, but something different than the past. I found one of my images of the surf and cropped it very closely.
I tried to paint with a variety of strokes and get plenty of action into the scene. I finished with scattering some "foam" . I enjoyed trying to bring something new to an old subject.
Thank you for reading my blog today!
