Hummingbird Dance Original oil painting by Karen Tarlton modern impressionist

Oil

Flowers and birds are two of my favorite things to paint, especially these agile hummingbirds. You have to use your imagination quite a bit when you paint them. When I watch them in my yard all I see is a brief blur of color and motion, and this is the energy I try to capture here.

Bold, expressive palette knife movements and energizing color!

"Dance as though no one is watching you. Love as though you have never been hurt before. Sing as though no one can hear you. Live as though heaven is on earth."
