Original oil paintings A horse and Cow of a different color by Karen Tarlton

These are two new favorites.

You see I try not to take things too seriously and

perhaps that is one of the important things to remember.

I walked with Maggie down the street today and found a wonderful group of artists!

Planning on doing some plein air painting with them the weekend.

You can't beat the view in this studio :)

Here is a new painting that just listed

Hope you enjoy.

Original oil painting Napa Valley vineyard landscape by Karen Tarlton

I always enjoy painting with bright colors and lively strokes of thick oil.

I'm fascinated by the clear California light and arid beauty of the wine country.

Original oil painting Bouganvillea Blue Shuttered window by Karen Tarlton

One of my favorite plants and I love windows.

I'm liking the ruby colored petals and this is one hardy plant.

I will be planting at my new house in San Diego for sure.

It's great with teal blue too I think.

Original oil paintings Angel and Mermaid palette knife fine art impressionsim by Karen Tarlton

Well it's been a beautiful Spring and the start to a lovely Summer.

I am now in San Diego and enjoying it so much.

Painting everyday, and running in the perfect weather on the ocean is inspiring.

I see seals and ocean birds everyday and boats of course so if you see

more ocean inspired paintings, you'll know why!

Somebody asked for Mermaids, and so here is the first :)
