Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Crooked River Canyon"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/28/15
 "Crooked River Canyon" - 6x6in. -  not for sale yet (will be when I get a better image)


Hello from the road! Here is a little sneak peak of what I'm painting out here in East Oregon. I don't have a way to get really accurate photos, so I'm going to wait until I get home to post them for sale.

We are having a heck of an adventure! I am posting photos on Instagram, but otherwise I've been almost completely unplugged.

I would like to remind anyone interested to enter the Daily Paintworks Monthly Contest. We have a surprisingly low number of entries this month, so your chances of winning are great! First 3 prizes are $500, $300 and $150, and the top 15 artists get a free month and "featured" status on DPW, which puts you up at the top of the page for a month.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Sparkling Water"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/26/15
 "Sparkling Water" - 6x12in. -  click to bid

This is pre-posted while I'm on vacation. I won't be able to ship anything (books or paintings) until (at the latest) July 8th. My apologies!


This is another painting I did (from life) at Clearwater Park here in Oregon, of the Willamette River. To get to this spot I had to walk along a narrow log over cold water. I was with 2 friends and was able to convince only one of them to come with me. But Patti got a great painting out of it! So I think it was worth the risk.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Clearwater Creek 2"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/23/15
 "Clearwater Creek 2" - 8x8in. -  click to bid

This is pre-posted while I'm on vacation. I won't be able to ship anything (books or paintings) until (at the latest) July 8th. My apologies!


This is the second one from Clearwater Creek. I painted it from a photo I took a little earlier in the day - around 8am. You can see the shadows are longer, and there's more dark in the grasses and trees. But over-all things are darker, and I think that's because of the photo. I especially didn't get as much life/color in the creek bottom. BUT, I feel like I designed the whole thing a little better, and arranged the rocks more artfully. And there is more contrast where the sky reflects in the water.


I would probably learn a TON if I painted this one over and over about 100 more times. Like Monet and his water lillies.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Roses, Light and Shade"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   6/20/15
 "Roses, Light and Shade" - 8x8in. -  click to bid

Recently I visited some galleries in Portland with the idea that maybe, just maybe, I might like to seek representation again at some point and sell some larger paintings. I found a couple that might work, but they were both huge! With giant walls! And also sell a lot of contemporary work. So I had this vision of giant roses on giant canvases, with unfinished edges. And came home and painted a small one for practice. And loved it! So if I can figure out how to store some large panels or canvases in my studio/house (which is a huge task!), then maybe it can happen. We'll see.
