Original oil painting Spring Tree and Bee palette knife fine art impressionism by Karen Tarlton

Well it's just about April, I think that means Spring right?

Hard to tell when it's still so chilly here on the east coast.

I hope it warms up soon, I'm ready for the buzz of the bees,

and the scent of the Cherry Blossoms :)

Original oil painting Hummingbird and Sunflower palette knife fine art by Karen Tarlton

A couple new little gems and a few of my favorite things.

My favorite bird is this little guy. He's agile and lightening fast, but delicate and beautiful too. 

An amazing creature.

And the sun loving Sunflower is an all time favorite to paint.

Such structure and form to this flower and the color can't be beat!

Time is flying by and getting away from my.

I'm gearing up to move back to the West Coast this summer even though we've only been here a little over a year!

Life is an adventure, and I never know what next week will bring.

But I do know that new days, fresh starts and sunny skies await!

Here are two new favorites!

Custom original oil paintings, peacock, cow and nautical work by Karen Tarlton

I've been busy the past few weeks painting several custom works for collectors.

Several are rather large so it's been wonderful and I'm working on another large one tomorrow in my studio!

I love painting special pieces for your home so if you missed one and someone else bought it or you need a special size, let me know :)

The trickiest part for me is always the titles....mmmmm any ideas for these?
