Original oil painting Lion Portrait by Karen Tarlton

“A man's power to connect his thought with its proper symbol, and so to utter it, depends on the simplicity of his character, that is, upon his love of truth, and his desire to communicate it without loss.”

A soulful lion in cheerful colors and thick oils

I will painting a new lion large soon and am warming up

with a few smaller ones as I often do - playing

with gold and vibrant reds in rich drags of buttery oil paint.
