Contemporary Artists of North Carolina: Small Oil Seascape, 8x10 Oil Painting, Daily Painting, "The Green Sea" by Carol Schiff

Living on the coast of Florida, I love going to the beach for inspiration.

The mood and colors of the sea change drastically and often, so you never know which sea you will find.

Some days it is hot and hazy, or choppy or calm as a lake. The color may be blue, green, turquoise or maybe muddy. When a storm moves in, everything changes quickly.

The mood of my seascapes also change. Some of them are full of texture and color, some not so much. This one was quite a challenge for me, I just couldn't mix the colors I wanted or make my brush behave. It took a few tries, but eventually I created a painting I was happy with.
