Original oil paintings Central Park New York Autumn by Karen Tarlton
I have two brand new New York paintings inspired by Central Park from my last visit a month ago.
We stay fairly close to the park and my husband is a marathon runner, so while he goes for miles

this amazing place.
Yes I like the Gapstow Bridge area best!
And here are my creations.
I hope you enjoy!

Like ghosts these beautiful creatures move effortlessly and I love painting them.
This one has a soft and more ethereal feel.
Facing the Storm

This was painted for a collector specifically to use
for a poster for VaGirlsSummit at George Mason-
girls are stressed out and feel the need to be perfect and this painting
hopes to show them facing the world head on and says "you are doing enough right now" in bold,
colors and strokes of paint.

The Running Back
Well each of these has a unique story.
Football has been in the news a lot lately and on my T.V. as my husband is a huge fan,
and I don't much understand the game but I do appreciate the athletes and always
seem to see a potential painting in just about everything.
