Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Art, Rose Painting, 8x10 Still Life, "Rose Bowl" by Carol Schiff

Today's effort is a small bowl of roses.  I got very bogged dow in detail on this one.

Purchase here
165 + shipping
I am still trying to find that special balance between too loose and too tight.  Although I think this painting has merit, I do plan to use it as a jumping off place for another work.  Maybe next time I will hit that sweet spot I am looking for.

Lemon On Tree Painting, 9x12 Oil Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting

This one has been hanging around for awhile, no pun intended!  Sometimes, it seems the most simple objects are the hardest for me.  I struggled to get the correct shape and shading on this lemon until I was ready to pull out my hair.


I should have put my brushes away that day and gone shopping, have lunch with a friend, anything but paint!


It sat in my studio for months, mocking me, this lemon of a lemon.  Finally I worked up the courage to finish it and put it away.

Some days just don't work!

Thanks for viewing my blog today.
