California Golden Coast

Wow it was a nice day at the beach today.
Trying to get a jog or two in a few days a week
Running a bit on the strand helps inspire me to paint
colorful beach scenes.

Feel the warm sand and feel the breeze,
smell the salty air....love it.

Original oil paintings Wild Horses equine palette knife fine art by Karen Tarlton


Crazy texture and color in these 10x10 new palette knife paintings
It's great to watch the horse emerge from the abstract painting.
Many layers of paint, upon layers paint make interesting
and exciting textures and generate such movement and motion.
Both have warm against cool colors and look amazing hanging together!

The Lion in spirituality represents courage, power, dominion, triumph, and the strength of love!
I think the most wonderful part about painting any animal is painting the eyes.
The eyes capture the soul and spirit
Of course a wild wispy main is fun too!

Original oil painting May Hummingbirds by Karen Tarlton

 12x24
Hummingbird Dance
Oil 

May is upon us!
These are my favorite birds to see
and when I do, I know Spring is here.
It's like finding a unicorn; they are so magical.
They amaze but also remind us of several important things to remember:

1. taste the "sweet nectar"  or good things in life
2.Endurance is key to success. Just because you are in a state of non - progression, or "hovering" in one place, doesn't mean your stagnant or stuck. It just means you are in a natural state of rest.

Dreaming of hummingbirds can represent having too much or not enough of one of these qualities.

I also just love the soothing humm they make when they hover in front of a flower
and dance away again!


8x8 Hummingbird (below)
Tasting the "sweet nectar" or the good things in life. Endurance. Also, based on the way that hummingbirds can hover in one place, hummingbird can mean you're actually making progress even when it seems you're stuck, or that you're in a natural lull or rest period and you'll begin making progress again soon. Dreaming of this animal can represent: Having too much of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being less this way Not having enough of one of these qualities, or that you could benefit by being more like this Someone or something in your real life with whom you associate one of these qualities (an event, situation, threat, etc.)
