Animal paintings by Karen Tarlton

I LOVE this horse painting and actually if doesn't sell right away I wouldn't mind keeping it awhile :)

Something about the bright colors and motion of this one and I have a sweet simple frame

that will work just great with it.

The more I paint animals the less meat I eat.

I used to be a vegetarian at one point in my life

and I've decided to do my best to go vegan once again.

If you read a book called "The China Study" you'll understand it's much healthier

but I think for the sake of the planet and the animals, it's also best. 

Anyway how cute is this little guy, and wouldn't you rather have a carrot?

Refresh magazine feature - Karen Tarlton

One of my paintings is in the latest issue of Refresh Magazine! It was purchases by a collector whose excellent design taste put her home in this magazine. Mine is the winter tree painting on the left.

It was called "First Snow of Winter" and is a favorite winter painting with the sunrise is colorful blasts of color bursting behind the tree and snow all around.
