Wildflowers by Karen Tarlton - Original oil painting

Wildflowers in the Wind

20x24

Oil

Beauty is the oracle that speaks to us all. Nature is the ultimate inspiration and I have always had a love for flowers. Hope you enjoy!

Sailing Beyond the Wildflowers

I'm totally allergic to cats but for some reason everywhere we live, and we move every few years, cats find me. This one belongs to my neighbor but he comes on in and hangs out with me while I paint everyday, for the last 3 months or so. I swear he is the reincarnation of a cat I had a few years ago. He's not at all afraid of our dog, in fact Maggie is a little scared of him, and just makes himself at home. I'm taking allergy pills again I guess.....he's my muse.

Oil

A tranquil little landscape in rich thick oil with palette knife and brush. Vivid blues and greens reminds me of Scotland.

ABOUT THE PAINTING:

see auction tonight for purchase

This new oil is also in a new sized canvas for me. This size is fun for certain compositions. This painting has lots of thick textures, thick in the forground than the background to give it added depth and I love the golden deep yellow of the California poppy with the blue sky.

I have lived near the vast poppy reserves twice....we've been stationed at Edwards, near Lancaster in the Mojave desert twice in the last 10 years. I'd say the poppies are the most beautiful event there, just lovely. They only last a few short weeks and only bloom if the conditions are just right, but when they do, it's a sight!
