Lindisfarne Castle - Landscape Oil Painting - 6x6

The Lindisfarne Castle was built in the 1550's, around the same time that the Priory from yesterday's painting went out of use. They actually used stones from the Priory to build the castle. The castle itself is pretty small, but it sits on the highest part of the island, on a volcanic mound known as Beblowe Craig.

Sunday on Cabrillo Blvd - Santa Barbara landscape - 6x6

I used to live in Santa Barbara, it was beautiful, and I never had to drive in snow. It was also cloudy a lot, hence the terms "May gray" and "June gloom", this is a painting of one of those days.

Kawaii Makes Me Smile - Daily Oil Painting - 5x5

I was looking through my photos of our last trip to Hawaii and the trees in this one caught my eye, something about their silhouette against the overcast sky, I just had to try to paint it.

Santa Barbara Courthouse - Daily painting by Sharon Schock

I really like how this painting turned out so I think it will be number 2 in the series for that upcoming show. It is also my favorite Santa Barbara courthouse painting that I've done :)

Praha - Original cityscape oil painting - 5x5

Night Lights in Prague - Original oil painting

I'm working on some pieces that I'd like to put in a show that's coming up here in Denver. I'm preparing early so hopefully I won't chicken out. This is tentatively number one in the series, from a photo I took while I was in Prague a few years ago.

Winter Night - Daily Painting

There's a light buried in a tree on the corner of our street, and for some reason when night falls (and especially when it snows) it looks so beautiful.

They Were Off My Path - Daily painting

I used my last cradled gessobord for today's painting. I reordered weeks ago for more but they have yet to come. That means I get to go rummaging through my studio for canvases that I have forgotten about, and everything will get reorganized. Kind of like how I used leftovers of everything to make dinner tonight...it actually tasted really good. So hooray for mid Winter cleaning :)

Caught in the rain - Daily painting

I haven't done many paintings like this one, I'm usually not attracted to busy scenes. But this one had an atmosphere that I wanted to try to capture.

Carpinteria Bluffs - daily painting

I wasn't able to post a painting yesterday because my husband took me on a romantic getaway for our early Valentines day :) but I'm back today this piece. It turned out a little... umm...I don't even know what to call it... it just wasn't how I thought it would turn out. But it is a painting of one of my favorite places, which I miss very much...especially in the winter.

Shadows on the bridge - daily painting

I really enjoyed working on this piece, maybe I've been painting too many still life's. This landscape was a welcomed change :)

Dusk - daily painting

This was my first painting on my new cradled gessobord panels. I'm very happy that it turned out ok, those panels are expensive!

I'm also pretty surprised that I managed to get a good shot of it, it's snowing outside but apparently the light is good :)

Santa Barbara mission - daily painting

It took me so long to find the mission, I don't know why since it turns out that it's pretty easy.
