About Eloise
And Work Discriptions
Eloise’s rustic paintings, prints, giclees, and canvas prints have the classic beauty and style of antiques. Her paintings and prints on canvas include landscapes from the Georgia, Texas, and Alabama countryside. She also paints on old wood, combining history with art, as she incorporates antique jewelry, tools, hats, musical instruments or frames into her creations. Eloise has been featured in Lee Magazine and Sunshine Artist Magazine as well as in newspapers and on television and has won numerous awards.
Eloise accepts commissions where she designs original art paintings to accommodate family pieces (Grandpa's old watch, for example) into memory paintings. Eloise originals can be found at both Fairhope Connection galleries in Fairhope and Orange Beach, Alabama. Other Eloise originals are also sold at the Hotel Defuniak Art Gallery in Walton County, Florida, as well as Nook and Cranny in Defuniak Springs. In Georgia, Eloise originals on antique china pieces can be found at the Steffan Thomas Museum of Art Gift Shop in Buckhead, GA; Doodlebugs in Statesboro, GA; and the Twin City Pharmacy and Gift Shop. Eloise originals are also displayed at the Cotton Patch Bakery in Portal, GA.
An educator herself, Eloise was one of the illustrators for the I Can Say That book, winner of the Early Language Literacy Award. Eloise also illustrated the book Jesus is Born, written by Brenda O'Quinn and published by Synerge Books, found at http://www.synergebooks.com/ebook_jesusisborn.html
.
Eloise also paints fine art pieces that encompass gorgeous landscapes, flowers, cotton fields, floral arrangements, and other delicate and detailed works. Her playful side lends a hand in her creation of fun art - striped cats, fat pigs, big lipped fish, and curious cows. Eloise Schneider's art also includes images of Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and Mexico - down by the water, in a village, or near a field in the sunlight of the dawn. She also paints ships and beaches, trees and forests, and the beautiful landscapes of the good ol' USA.
Faith is important to Eloise as an artist and she develops that belief system into many of her paintings: three crosses at Calvary, the cross on Pensacola Beach that overlooks the bay, children in the hands of God, the birth of Jesus Christ, and others.
Perhaps the most unusual of Eloise Schneider's artwork are her watercolor renditions of American Sign Language. As a teacher of the deaf and other children with special needs, Eloise has a heart for the art that reflects her love for those children. Her painting of the ASL 'I Love You' sign is bright and bold, a wonderful piece for a hearing or deaf person to enjoy. The world is grand and love can be too. Eloise's work is just that: full of love and life.
You will find her work available as originals, giclee prints, framed prints, canvas prints, and greeting cards.

Pensacola Beach By The Light Of The Moon
Description:
A cross erected to reflect the light of the moon on the sandy beach... Give it as a gift to a minister, pastor, or other person of faith. Buy it for the vestibule at your church or a pastor's gift. Buy it for your home.
......
Would be beautiful in any room of the house: living room, den, kitchen, bedroom, family room, bathroom, office, or study. Or hang it at your lake house, lodge, cottage, or beach house. Christian employer? Hang this in your office as a testimony of your faith.
..........
This painting was created using oil for the sky to give it depth and dimension. The waves were painted with acrylic, using a broad brush stroke. The sandy dune was created with palette knife, layering on the different colors of paint one at a time and waiting for each layer to dry before adding the next one. The vegetation was added with a small brush. These strategies and techniques were chosen to match the source - the sky is deep and wide and has depth like the oil paint, the water has waves that lift and float like the brush strokes, and the dune was built by wind that layered on the sand whisked into place by the evening breeze.
.........
To me, the cross celebrates Christ's victory over death. He isn't on the cross anymore. He is as free as the water the cross overlooks, sitting at the right hand of the Father.
............
This cross is real. It actually sits on a beach in Pensacola - a lighthouse of a different sort. The cross is old. The message transcends time.

Faith Hope Love
Description:
Faith, Hope, Love. I've lost the living to death - two babies, a son-in-law, my grandmother. And each time, I hurt a deep hurt that cannot even be expressed in words. I've wondered how people get through such pain if they don't believe there is an afterlife - a beautiful heavenly city where our loved ones will meet us at the gate. I know it has been my solace.
.........
I thought a long time about writing such a personal and intimate explanation of my collage of paintings. I know some will think I am a disillusioned woman who needs a crutch. And that's okay. It's not a crutch; it's a cross. And I lean on it heavily. I have found that it's better to be open with my faith. Part of tolerance is that I respect you. And your part is to respect my belief in return. Let me lean. Love me anyway. Perhaps even lean with me. Faith, hope, love ... that's what scripture teaches and that's what my collage of paintings represents. That verse continues, "But the greatest of these is love." I'm leaning.
.........
Love isn't always easy. My kindergarteners aren't perfect. My wonderful husband isn't even perfect. So I lean. I lean on that cross, grab that grandbaby's hand, and put my heart in my hands to give away, day after day. And with that, I find joy.

Still The Light
Description:
Even death could not squelch the light. He gave his life. Even more important to the Christian faith is that He STILL gives His light to any and all that would want to bask in it. And not just any life ... no, He gives NEW life, in fact, new life like a butterfly escaping his cocoon. New beginnings. With his death, He wiped the slate clean. The past is over. Out of His death comes the opportunity for new life.
.........
Beautiful for church or home. Would be lovely in any room of the house: living room, den, kitchen, bedroom, family room, bathroom. Or hang it at your lake house, lodge, cottage, cabin, or beach house as a reminder of the light. Though he gave his life, he isn't dead. The light shines on. As it was from the beginning of time, His light.
.........
He is Christmas. He is Easter. He is every celebration of life.
.........
This painting would be a fabulous gift for a wedding gift, Easter gift, Christmas present, or birthday gift for a pastor or Christian brother or sister.
.........
The painting is mixed media, which means that several paints and inks were used to create the effects in this piece, including wax. The image is available on canvas, as a framed print, a rolled print (you frame), a metal print, acrylic print, poster, giclee, or greeting card. Fine Art American ships within three days of purchase.
