Original oil painting The Dancer by Karen Tarlton

Love, now a universal birth,

From heart to heart is stealing, 

From earth to man, from man to earth,

- It is the hour of feeling.

There is a blessing in the air,

Which seems a sense of joy to yield,

To the bare trees , and mountains bare,

And grass in the green field.

More from my minds eye in my Etsy shop!

"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!

ABOUT THIS PAINTING:

My goal here was movement and energy. I used extreme textures and many layers of oils to achieve the final result...an explosion of motion through color and form. I love dance and it's so much fun to paint movement in this uniquely impressionistic style. I used both brush and palette knife and lots of time! I hope you enjoy it.
