Daily Painting | Bird Painting | Wildlife Painting | It's My Tern by Carol Schiff | 6x8" Oil SOLD

"It's my Tern" but it could be "Your Tern".

SOLD

I found these guys on the beach....actually they were two of about 50.  If you know your terns, you know they arrive in large flocks.  The flock acts as one unit and is so much fun to watch.  They swoop down on the beach, each one of them looking in the same direction.  If you get too close, they move a few steps in unison, always moving and looking as one.



I think this is one good tern..........


after another!


And my tern to have a little fun :-)

Blue and Green Paintings, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting

The past few weeks have been full of days on the couch and doctor visits.   As a result, I have fallen behind on my daily art projects.

I thought this would be a perfect time to review a few on my favorites from over the years.

To help narrow it down, I selected paintings that feature blue and green hues.































All of these works are available, either as original or giclee print on canvas at my Etsy site,

Thank you so much for viewing my art today. 
 Hopefully, I will be posting new work in the next few days.

Teacup Lamps and Dinnerplate Clocks, unique lamps and clocks

As much as I love to paint, I also have a little side hobby I enjoy.  My son and daughter-in-law have joined me in a little side business, making lamps and wall clocks from vintage dinnerware.

 For me, the attraction is the thrill of the hunt.  I visit estate sales and vintage stores, looking for the perfect pieces of vintage dinnerware.

My daughter in law assembles the pieces into beautiful lamps.  My son drills out the assembled pieces and adds brand new electrical components.

Viola! a  fun and unique lamp.  The lamp travels back to my house for photography and storage until that special person purchases it.  Then I wrap it carefully in bubble wrap and stryofoam to ship to your home.

 I find many of my teapots in North Carolina, during my visits there.  I had to have this leopard print teapot!

and this cute little black and yellow polk a dot piece.

 These are just a few of our lamps.  We also do commissioned lamps, using colors you request, or even your own special dinnerware.....maybe that special plate or cup from your grandmother.  Click here to see our full collection of lamps and clocks.



Wouldn't these be cute in a child's room?  They are made with commenorative plates.


Thank you for viewing my blog today.  Next post, we will be back to art....I promise!
