Florida Road, Original Oil Landscape Painting 10x8 Oil on Canvas Panel

This is one of my favorite places, North Captiva Island. It represents Peace. Relaxation. Beauty. Seclusion. Exquisite Beaches. Expensive Food (nothing's perfect).

Silver River, 10x8 Oil Painting by Carmen Beecher

After getting lost in the woods (perversely, I enjoy those kinds of adventures), Kathy and I finally found this beautiful scene. This river and Silver Springs State Park should be on any nature lover's bucket list. We passed through a gorgeous green swamp (on a boardwalk, of course) to get to the river. I was glad we were alone so I could ooh and ahh as loudly as I wished. Thank goodness Kathy had scoped it all out so we didn't miss this lovely sight.

Daily Painting, Small oil painting, "Room with A View" by Carol Schiff, 8x10x1.5" Oil

Strange name for a landscape.....maybe.  When I opened to door to my hotel room, this is the scene that pulled me across the room and on to the balcony........the perfect Florida beach scene, the glorious view we all hope for when we rent that room!  I knew the day would be good....and it was!

I painted with on gallery wrap canvas with the sides painted, so no frame is required.
My challenge in this painting was to capture the beautiful jewel tones on the sea and suggest the strong tropical light.

I hope you have a "room with a view" on your next vacation!  Enjoy!

Florida Landscape, Daily Painting, "Sunlit Plams" by Carol Schiff, 10x8x.75" Oil

This is a scene I see everyday in Florida.  When the sun is low in the sky, the entire landscape is bathed in golden light.  An  uninteresting sight, like this clump of palm trees, takes center stage.

This is just one of the perks that art has brought to my life.....the ability to really see....to take notice of the beauty that surrounds me.  Not just the obvious like a glowing sunset or a beautiful flower garden, but the magic that can happen to a clump of palm trees that I have walked by day after day.

What brings joy to your life?  A puppy....a touch...a new morning?
