Pastel, 9" x 12" $175
I'm so enjoying painting with pastels.
This scene can be anywhere,
but for the sake of a title,
I named it Fernandina Sunset.
End of day has a certain
beautiful melancholy to it.

Contemporary Landscape, "Sand Dunes 2," by Amy Whitehouse
6"x8" Oil, $125
In order to get from the rental beach house to the beach each day,
I must navigate a couple of mildly steep sand dunes.
As I plod up and down the soft loose ground,
keeping an eye out for Florida critters,
I marvel at the beautiful lit colors the sun gives
to simple sand.

Florida Landscape Paintng | Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Dance of the Wavesby Carol Schiff | 6x8" Palette Knife Painting | SOLD
 |
| SOLD |
I don't really understand what it is about water that makes our blood pressure drop, why it is so appealing to most everyone.
During the hot, steamy summer months, I often wonder why we live in Florida, but this time of the year, there is no doubt.
Paint me a picture of the landscape.
Dance me the dance of the waves.
Sing me of the legends of the river.
Tell me the story of the sky.

beach, canvas board, Carol Schiff, daily painter, daily painting, Florida, impressionism, landscape, ocean, oil painting, original painting, Sanibel, sea, sea oats, shore,
A recent trip to Sanibel brought me plenty of images to paint. Of course, the beach had to be the star.
I had not visited the area for many, many years, and I must admit that I forgot how beautiful it is. The water is aqua and clear, much like the tropical waters of the Caribbean Islands.
I passed this little group of sea oats every morning on the path to the sea. My favorite activity was to walk the beach as the sun was rising, with only the occasional fisherman or shell hunter and lots of pelicans and gulls for company.

Daily Painting "Morning Sail" 6x8 Oil Landscape SOLD
Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.
--Mark Twain
The thing about sailing, is that it looks like a lot more fun than it actually is. I know, I know, that's just my opinion, so please don't get upset! I enjoyed my days on the boat and I still love to spend an afternoon sailing.
Now, when I see a sail boat heading out on a beautiful sunny day, it seems like a little piece of paradise.
The real thing almost never beats out imagination. It's easy to forget the day the sail ripped or the day we sailed home in a raging storm with lightening strikes all around us.
Today, I will imagine....and paint about it.
Happy Birthday to my baby girl, Shelly!

Daily Painter, "All In A Row" 4x12" Original Oil SOLD
Last month we spent a few days at Sanibel. Each morning I would walk down the path to the sea, surrounded by sea grapes.
As I would approach the the beach, the tops of brightly colored tents would come into view.
Soon the beach would be alive with beach goers, some of which, spent the whole day under the tents. One group of men would carry table and chairs down each morning, and spend the day playing dominos on the beach.
I was more of a wimp and limited my beach time to early morning and early evening, less crowds and less heat!

Daily Painting, "Going Coconuts", Landscape, 6x8, Oil
This is another of my daily paintings from my trip to Sanibel Island in May.
My daughter and I were getting our exercise, taking a little walk before it was too hot one morning, trying to dodge all the people on bicycles without getting hit, when I saw this palm loaded with coconuts.
We live in Florida and see lots of palm trees, but our area is further north and coconut palms are not as common there. There is a lot going on under those palms, all kinds of fibers hanging, old dried up fronds and other miscellaneous materials and of course, the coconuts. It almost has an abstract quality.
Enjoy!

I don't really understand what it is about water that makes our blood pressure drop, why it is so appealing to most everyone.
During the hot, steamy summer months, I often wonder why we live in Florida, but this time of the year, there is no doubt.
Paint me a picture of the landscape.
Dance me the dance of the waves.
Sing me of the legends of the river.
