Moon Painting, Sky Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5"

The moon rises as night falls.

This is not my usual painting.  This painting was commissioned by a client, who wanted to use it on his CD cover.  He had written and recorded songs and wanted the cover to represent specific lyrics.

I allowed him to dictate the exact scene he requested, which resulted in this painting.  The bad news is, he was not happy with the results.  The good news is, he had paid an non-refundable deposit.

Although my deposit, was not enough to cover the materials and labor I expended, I believe it was a profitable experience.  I learned a lot of dos and don'ts.  He ended up purchasing another painting.

We parted ways, but I believe we were both happy with the outcome.

Playing with Paint, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 10x10x3" Abstract Oil Painting

Today is gray, foggy and damp, so I decided to post the most fun painting I could find.

Purchase here

You know how I love color and texture and this little painting has it all.

I painted it on a 8x8x3" canvas, so even the shape is unique.  It's chunky and cute and it resides on a bookshelf , where it brightens the whole room.  I cannot help but smile each time I look at it.

The canvas was a mistake.  I did not realize how deep it was when I ordered it.  What could I possibly do with it?  Well, for this painting, I think it is perfect!

Have a fantastic day!

MY PRINTS

This is an 8x10" painted primarily with a brush, with just a little palette knife help at the center of interest.

I tried to keep it a little more realistic than some of my sunsets, which can easily get a little on the gaudy side.  It's so easy to get carried away with those gorgeous colors.  Photographs do the same, showing the colors stronger than life and darkening the forground to a near black.

I recently purchased a video from Richard Robinson, a very accomplished artist, (google him) and he showed me a few new tricks about sunsets.  He starts painting with the sun, working outward.  He has a stunning way with color in all his works, but it is his sunset paintings that realy attract me.

Thanks for viewing today.

Sky Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Cloud Painting, "Autumn Skies" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x1.5" Oil

In this small oil painting, the rusty foliage and peachy clouds are the perfect foil to the blue sky.  It's always a happy day when a painting goes together easily as this one did.

purchase here

I painted with a palette knife, which is almost always fun, to achieve the texture and subtle color changes I was looking for.

"Sunset At The Lake" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 20" x 30", framed to 24" x 36", $475.-
Sunset and skies are some of my favorite subjects to paint, leaving much room for colorful interpretations. They are also favorite subjects to view, lifting the spirit with hope and the anticipation of a new day.

"Winter Sky " by Astrid Paustian

Oil on Canvas Panel, 8" x 8",$ 150,-, unframed.
A beautiful but freezing cold Winter day a couple of weeks ago provided the inspiration for this painting. The sun was just setting when we hurried back from a trip into the foothills of Boulder. Our car almost got stuck on the icy road and we had to stop frequently to help other stranded travelers.

"Foothills Sunset" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 15" x 18.5", matted and framed to 20" x 24", $ 325.-
Another beautiful Colorado Sunset. Even in Winter, when the hills turn brown, the skies offer a spectacular display of color. Pastel is a great medium to quickly put this impression on paper, layering color, without having to wait for paints to dry.

"Sunset over Golden" by Astrid Paustian

Oil on Canvas Panel, 9" x 12 ", $ 175,-, unframed.
I do love painting skies. This image was painted from a photograph taken on the way home to Boulder from Ghost Ranch, New Mexico, in early September. I was just passing through Golden, Colorado, when the clouds turned a dramatic bright red and orange.

"Sunset Meditation" by Astrid Paustian

Pastel, 16" x 19", matted and framed to 20" x 24", $375.-
Another painting of our spectacular winter sunsets.
Even when the vegetation turns brown and gray along the Front Range in Winter, most evenings turn into a fantastic display of colors and light.
