Original oil painting Ballerina at the Studio by Karen Tarlton

Something always brings me back to figurative work.

A ballerina is beautiful, and I love to paint beauty in brilliant color!

When you dance, your purpose is not to get to a certain place on the floor. It's to enjoy each step along the way.

"Don't think about making art, just get it done. Let everyone else decide if it's good or bad, whether they love it or hate it. While they are deciding, make even more art."

- Andy Warhol

Painting for me is quite a passion and I enjoy to paint from inspirational music, experiences, and travels. Every so often people inspire me too!

I was listening to some of my favorite classical and before I could stop myself she started to dance on the canvas.

Hope you enjoy!

THIS PAINTING:

This painting is truly a sculpture on the canvas....it has lots of paint and great texture and color...rusy brown background and pops of tourquoise blue and gold. The figure in motion is always fun to get back to now and then. I have several more women planned to paint in the next month.

This painting is on eBay auction tonight.
