Iris Garden and Harbor Boats by Karen Tarlton

Both of these are painted with extremely thick oil paint and palette knives so that the canvas is loaded with texture and bursting with color. I want each scene to be filled with movement and energy, so I incorporated a lot of warm against cool color in the design to suggest that feeling. Combining short staccato strokes with long sweeping drags of the palette knife helps generate a sense of movement.
