Original oil painting Downhill Ski Racer by Karen Tarlton

Downhill Ski Racer

11x14

Oil

I've been inspired by all this cold weather here in Southern California

and remembering the old days growing up in Tahoe and watching my 

husband race down the mountain (back when we were young)

It's in the low 50's as a high so I'm up in my sunny studio where it's the brightest and warmest

painting snow scenes!

more to come!!!!!

"The person who says it can't be done should not interrupt the person doing it."--Chinese proverb

Winter is on the way and this painting makes a wonderful gift for the lover of the slopes. With powder flying and the wind swirling, the skier soars! I love to paint action and movement! Rather than focusing on minute details I generate movement and energy with repetitive drags and swipes of color, layering them in different directions, developing interesting textures and rich luminous colors. He does seem to fly doesn't he?
