Hummingbird Dance palette knife fine art impressionism by Karen Tarlton

 You have to use your imagination quite a bit when you paint them. When I watch them in my yard all I see is a brief blur of color and motion, and this is the energy I try to capture here.

Bold, expressive palette knife movements and energizing color

Words to live by for sure:

so remember that almost all problems are tiny and like my sweet dog says,

"When someone you love walks through the door, even if it happens five times a day, you should go totally insane with joy" ..... and enjoy life!

Original oil painting Studio painting day - hummingbird by Karen Tarlton

 All set up and back to painting some colorful animals!

I must be extremely right brained 

because I love to paint with my left hand behind my back,

completely out of the way :)

 Finished up the latest Longhorn which needs to dry.

 My studio - mate Sandi, hard at work.

It's so wonderful to paint alongside her!

Two brand new 6x6 inch paintings!

These look great in a grouping or in any small space.

I saw another a hummingbird today while I was trimming the salvia plant our new garden that has grown unruly. Always a good omen a hummingbird. I hesitated cutting the blossoms because the bird loves them but the bush was too large.

I bought tomatoes, strawberries, peas, peppers, a bunch of herbs and even a rasberry plant and I'll take some photos when I get them in the ground tomorrow.

I'm so excited about finally having a a spot to grow some vegies!

I keep seeing these little lovlies each morning when I'm outside drinking my coffee in the early quiet hours. So I'm on a roll with them, one more yet to list.

Love the way the dance, and dart this way and that, like nobody's watching :)
