So one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost

Original oil paintings by Karen Tarlton Pet portraits and commissions


Pet portraits - custom paintings 
In the last few months I've been busy! Here are a few images of beautiful dogs
that light up somebody's life, I know, and I feel honored to have painted.
They bring me joy and I feel the love the owners have for their pets as I paint and I hope it shows.






  This last one is just a photo of my Maggie!
She's my studio companion and jogging buddy.
Dogs are so much fun :)

Thanksgiving! I know it's not a turkey but close!

Original oil painting Violinist "Blue Note" by Karen Tarlton - palette knife fine art impressionism

I dedicate my life to art, so ideas surround me, and I find beauty everywhere. The richness of life is where I find my inspiration, from the wonderous to the sadness. Music, too, is a big part of my journey. From Bach and Tchaikovsky to jazz and rock, I always have music playing while I am painting. Music is a perfect inspiration.

Two new paintings that I would love to share.
The first was a gift to a friend. The boat is his "happy place"
and I thought he might like to see it everyday.
The second is a very large commission that was just shipped off.
I always worry about my larger works when in transit.
UPS can be "not so careful" I've found.
