Spring Bird Song - orignal nature inspired oil painting by Karen Tarlton

20x20 Oil impasto with knife

This painting is available for purchase!

"The aim of every artist is to arrest motion, which is life, by artificial means and hold it fixed so that a hundred years later, when a stranger looks at it, it moves again since it is life." ~William Faulkner This new original oil is influenced by natural and organic forms and uses contemporary styles and techniques. I apply several layers of thick oil paint with palette knife in multiple directions. This technique not only adds texture, but further brings out the depth of each color. So much fun to paint and I love the rich buttery texture of my new spring colors!
