Original oil paintings and commissions by Karen Tarlton

Tammy's Angel

custom commission

I've been so busy painting custom works for collectors!

Here are a few of my most recently finished.

These bring me so much joy because I

feel such a connection to the people I paint special works for.

It's a pleasure and an honor each time :)

I'm also very busy working on paintings to illustrate

a brand new children's book which will be published this year!

More to come on that exciting news!

He jumped from the fence and struck a pose!

We ate our packed lunch watching peacocks after a hard day of gardening at the local nature center garden. Here we are planting, mulching and watering. A nice weekend to volunteer!

And find some inspiring peacocks to paint!

A new Paris cityscape for a charity auction in Las Vegas

Waiting for it's frame to arrive and then I'll get it shipped off :)

I get many requests for a donated painting and try to help

as many causes as I can each year as my way of giving back to communities all over the country.

This month has been quite busy!

I think I've donated to 4 great causes in four different states!

I can't say yes to every single one, although I wish I could,

but I will continue to contribute each month and consider each request!

I need to remember to take time to enjoy California's beauty!

Here are a few snapshots from last week's hike.

 Lupine - I love this wildflower!

 The Ocean in the distance is the goal! Oohh so pretty!

                                           I'm trying to keep up but I have to enjoy the beauty :)

Just when I almost gave up in this Artiste Wine label contest

they announced it's not over until it's over!

Hacking and illegal voting happened by at least one artist, :(

so they will check each vote and let us know in a few days who the winner is.

I just want to thank everyone who voted and so kindly supported me in this.

I so enjoyed talking to everyone and participating in the finals!

In case you haven't voted there is still time, but only U.S. votes will count at this point.
