Rural Landscape Painting, Autumn Painting,Daily Painting, Palette Knife Painting, 11x14" Oil
A scene that is found everywhere, in my new state, North Carolina. Maybe not everywhere, but, everywhere around here in the Asheville area.
We are just getting hints of fall. A maple will have one red branch, while the rest of the tree is still green. But I can sense that it WANTS to be red!
Hope your day is colorful, too!

Coral Rose Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 6x8" Impressionist art
I recently took a 3 day workshop from my favorite instructor, Elio Comacho, where we painted fresh flowers every day.
Since I usually paint from the computer monitor, it is always a challenge to paint from life. I do enjoy it, but, I know myself well enough to know that I need the advantage of having an image available whenever I want it.
When I paint flowers on my monitor, I tend to get tighter. That does bother me.
Both of these were painted using my monitor. I am not unhappy, but I hope to see improvement down the road.
Hope you have a rosy day!

Abstract Seascape Oil Painting, Tropical Waters, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 11x14x1.5" SOLD
Continuing on my tropical journey to the Florida Keys. Today's post is my impressions of the sea off the coast of southern Florida.
It is hard to find more fun (in the studio), than to dig into a big pile of paint, with your knife, and just go to town. Adding and subtracting values and hues........puts me in the zone every time.
As much as I love creating all this yummy texture, I can only do it for a few days, before I start to crave a little structure and strong composition. Each day I work on this coral reef series, I get a little less abstract and and little more impressionist.
Join me on my journey.....
Thanks for visiting my blog today!

Many new prints on canvas by Karen Tarlton - Etsy artist in oil

Flower Painting | Small Oil Painting | Daily Painting | White Bird by Carol Schiff | 8x10x1.5" Original Oil
With this flower painting, I wanted to celebrate the beautiful, but not so well recognized, White Bird of Paradise. If you live in the sub-tropical areas of the world, you probably see orange Bird of Paradise every day, but the white variety is not as plentiful.
The interesting thing is that although the flowers are similar excluding color, the plant and leaves are quite different.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

This variety grows on a much taller plant. I have one over 12 feet tall. The orange plant is lower to the ground and more bush like.

Learn the rules like a pro so you can break them like an Artist...Pablo Picasso
A self-taught artist and a late bloomer. I began painting as an outlet while attending college, in mid-life. My field of study was demanding and stressful and I needed a creative outlet. I fell in love with the feel of the brush and paint as it flowed on the canvas. I continue to be blessed to study with some awesome gifted artists. The most important roles in my life, wife, mother and grandmother, I was a "early bloomer" but there are many joys in being a late bloomer. God has richly blessed me. I sing His praises through brush strokes and color.

This was a painting, I enjoyed creating! I don't know why, but some days every brushstroke is a struggle, and a few times, everything just falls into place.
For me, this was a" fall into place day".

Coral Reef Painting, Key Largo Painting, Daily Painting, Large Oil Painting, 20x24x1.5" Oil
This is the largest of my coral reef series....the largest so far. It is highly textured, not with medium, but with paint.
 |
| purchase here I sometimes paint over a failed painting, such as in this case. Conventional wisdom will advise you to sand down your canvas and start over. I prefer to let the texture of the failed painting show through. Sometimes, I also allow pieces of the original art to show. |
 |
| I originally had an abstract piece on this canvas, but although I liked some parts of the abstract, I was not happy with the whole piece. The canvas set in my studio for several years before I attempted to reuse it. This technique may not be for everyone, but I am the texture queen, so, it appeals to me. |

Abstract Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Triptych Painting
Every now and then, I just have to do an abstract. Usually painting knives are involved. This one is no exception. I wanted to take a square composition and turn it into a rectangle. This us what I came up with.
I have been in North Carolina, in the mountains for the past few weeks. We are enjoying our time here.
The other day we went to the park and had a picnic lunch, something we never do at home. There were ducks and geese everywhere.
We had a relaxing and fun time and our sandwiches tasted twice as good as usual. The crisp fall weather comes and goes. It is so much fun to be in the mountains this time of the year and I cannot wait for the fall color. I will share with you when it comes.
When I work on the computer, I can see chipmonks running back and forth, across the patio. They are so fast, it is hard to get a photo, but I did manage to catch one stuffing his cheeks with goodies.
Have a great fall day, wherever you are.

Seascape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Florida Surf Painting, 8x16x.75" Oil
I am trying to break my current addiction to painting flowers, so I dug through my files and found a great image of the ocean. I have a new (for me) size canvas, 8x16" that I thought would work well for the image.
I have to admit, I enjoyed painting this scene. My choices of subject matter are always based on emotion and on this day......the waves filled my need for action.
Thanks for reading my blog today....If I were in Florida, I'd be off to the beach.

Moon Painting, Sky Painting, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 8x8x1.5"
The moon rises as night falls.
This is not my usual painting. This painting was commissioned by a client, who wanted to use it on his CD cover. He had written and recorded songs and wanted the cover to represent specific lyrics.
I allowed him to dictate the exact scene he requested, which resulted in this painting. The bad news is, he was not happy with the results. The good news is, he had paid an non-refundable deposit.
Although my deposit, was not enough to cover the materials and labor I expended, I believe it was a profitable experience. I learned a lot of dos and don'ts. He ended up purchasing another painting.
We parted ways, but I believe we were both happy with the outcome.
