Original oil paintings 6x6 Spring Tulips, sunflowers and sailboat by Karen Tarlton

Three new little 6x6 inch gems.

I love painting small sometimes because it allows for so much intense

color and rich thick paint.....fun, fun, fun, like icing a cake!

Delicious color.

This is my new Plein Air painting spot.  If you are walking by this spot in San Diego, you might see me painting near the Yacht Club in Point Loma.

Original oil painting Sunrise Sailing Landscape by Karen Tarlton

For most people, we often marvel at the beauty of a sunrise or the magnificence of a full moon, but it is impossible to fathom the magnitude of the universe that surrounds us.
Enjoy this colorful weekend!

I was listening to the song "Some Beach Somewhere" when I painted this

Listing tomorrow,

Last Lazy days of Summer

and one of my favorite memories of the ocean.

Original oil painting Summer Beach Dunes and Sea by Karen Tarlton

Beach Dunes

Oil

SOLD

Spending a few hours a day watching the sailboats go by inspires me to paint scenes like this.

Right now we live a few miles from the beach so

it's possible to take a little jog 

along the boardwalk while looking out at water.

When I return to my studio to paint,

I remember colors much more vividly

than if I were still staring at the sea.

I close my eyes, listen to the ocean and paint!

Sailing Away

“I must down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky,
And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by”

How soothing it is to watch a sailboat at sunrise.

Come sail away with me.
