So one of my favorite poems by Robert Frost
is the "Road Less Traveled" and this is how I see it.....
A warm glow guiding the way and colorful trees and reflections
to inspire and tell the story.

"Lightning Over City Lights" by Karla Nolan, miniature, lightning, twilight, night scene
Here is another
entry into my weather or lightning series. We live near the foothills
of the Rocky Mountains here in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the weather
can be quite entertaining! As I drive west towards the mountains at
twilight and at nighttime, the flickering lights up on the hills
overlooking Horsetooth Reservoir to the west and looking out at the
Great Plains to the east grab my attention. Add in some lightning and,
man, you have got a show!
"Lightning Over City Lights", 4"x6" palette knife oil painting on linen panel, $48

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb
Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along!
I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife.
This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson.

Brilliant color and texture in this romantic rainy scene. Contemporary and modern with
expressive palette knife work! Lots of fun!

CITY LIGHTS Original oil painting by Karen Tarlton
12x24
City Lights
oil
I wanted to create sort of a foggy, or misty look so I used soft greys, blues and lavender for depth and warm pops of gold, yellow and red to really light it up! I love the look.....sort of mysterious. What city is it? Well that's up to you!
