These are new palette knife and oil works. I used Cad reds, winsor yellows and blues. I again played with the cool against the warm colors and these have great texture too.

San Diego Starry Skyline painting by Karen Tarlton palette knife fine art impressionism
t's not only the color thing that thrills me, it's the texture. Lots of broken color helps leave a soft coastal impression I think.

Autumn Serenity painting palette knife fine art impressionism by Karen Tarlton

Violin Girl paintings by Karen Tarlton palette knife impressionism
Two new favorites are finished.
THE PAINTINGS:
This is part of my "Women in the Arts series". I varnish coffee stained violin sheet music on a primed canvas and then add layer upon layer of first acrylic and then oils. I allow some of the sheet music to show through, where the paint is just thinnly glazed with oil, so that you see some of what it is she and I are so inspired by....the music! It takes a lot of time to paint these figurative paintings but I enjoy every second of it and love the results! I hope you do too.

New Orleans and Angel painting by Karen Tarlton fine art impressionism in oil
Angel of Joy
9x12
New Orleans Starry Night Moon
12x16
PAINTING:
From a white canvas, I begin to see old New Orleans emerge with pure oils. I used some cad red and cad yellow in this one for added punch. I decided all palette knife and no brush as a knife seems to better suit New Orleans. Good Jazz music and lots of vibrant color.
INSPIRATION:
I have had many requests for more New Orleans French Quarter paintings and promise to try to keep painting more. This city is like the Paris of our country. Everyone who has ever been there loves it and some of the best people are from New Orleans. I love its antiquity and architecture, soul and charm. It is a joy to paint....hope you enjoy.
