Original oil painting Beach Babes by Karen Tarlton - children on the beach

8x8 

Beach Babes

Oil
SOLD

I've been busy this week, but this painting sums up everything pretty well.

Moving to the beach and I feel like I've gone full circle with my life.

22 years ago we lived in San Diego and our first daughter was born there. 

She's now graduating from college and we're moving back!

I'll be painting in the very same spot where it all started.

Isn't that something?

Oil

"A cure for anything is salt water, sweat, tears, or the sea." ~ Isak Dinesen

Love painting the sea in rich texture and bold palette knife movements!  Warm sandy colors play against cool blues of sky and water.

What is better than a stroll on the beach with someone you love?

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

I really love this painting so it has a slightly higher price, though still very very low, as auction prices must be! Not only am a quite fond of this oil, but it took a long time to paint. I let it dry imbetween stages and it has at least 5 layers of oil paint and fantastic texture and color. Inspired by the four years I spent at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, near Fort Walton Beach, this painting brings back many fond memories, and is a lovely focal point painting.
