Original oil painting commission Florence Italy by Karen Tarlton

A Kiss in Florence
36x48
SOLD and Painted on Commission

This large painting was a joy to paint for this loving couple.
It is very large and detailed so it took some time
but I love Italy and scenes like this take me back.

I hope that every day that they look at this they think of two things.
The love they have for each other, first of all
and
the wonderful time they had in Florence together that day, at that moment in time,
which is now forever caught on canvas!

Let me know if you have need of a special painting.
Happy to do it.

Well I do have many other paintings for  you to go check out in my Etsy shop, but 
here are a couple of my recent favorites.
I'm planning a trip to the beach, in Bethany Delaware for the 4th.
This boat painting is in anticipation really. Yes so excited.
And today I had a hot and humid day of gardening.
Planted Vinca, lavender, and Lantana along with some Lariope grass on the front sloped
area along the steps.
It troubles me that I don't see many honey bees anymore. Where have they gone?

I feel my art is like an open diary. It records my life, and the wonders around me.
My paintings are my favorite way to express myself to the world. My painting speak of so many things
that I could never attempt to put into words.

I hope that my work connects with so many people on many levels.
I hope viewers will feel a serene sense of happiness
from a glimpse at some of these!
Enjoy!
