1800 Fishing out at the Preserve, Plein Air

I did this today out at the George LeStrange Preserve in Ft. Pierce.  Lovely day out, wasn't too hot till about noon, it was 91 when I got home.  Its painted with palette knife, a big one!  I had left my normal size one at home, wasn't sure if it would come out or not.  Then when I was about finished I found a medium sized knife I had packed away in my bag so finished with that one.

Everything was done on site except for the fisherman, I put him in when I got home.

The painting is 8 x 10 inches, oil on masonite.

"Forever Blowing Bubbles" Goes Neon by Lynda Cookson

It's children who keep us young. Even when they're not so young themselves ... or maybe especially because they're not so young themselves! My son, who is not that far off 40 years old, has moved on from keeping me up to date with the latest in music, to keeping me up to date with what I can do with Photoshop.

Here's one of the results. I took my "Forever Blowing Bubbles" oil painting and turned it into neon line art ... such fun! Both are now available on Etsy.

"Going Crab Fishing" by Lynda Cookson

"Going Crab fishing" was inspired by a lovely, large, gent who wandered past us as we were parked overlooking a small bay within Douarnenez Bay on the west coast of Brittany in France. His character, walk and equipment were so much larger than life that all surroundings seemed to fall away.

Autumn Serenity painting palette knife fine art impressionism by Karen Tarlton

Every time I paint a colorful fisherman painting, my heart experiences an intense feeling of calmness and peace. I know exactly that this feeling comes from the relaxed atmosphere of this serene landscape and it's beauty is intensified because of this sense of calm.

In person “Fishing Early Light” practically leaps off the canvas with its vibrant palette knife strokes and extremely thick three-dimensional paint.

Luscious Fall colors in this painting to light up the room.

I'm not much of a fisherman (woman) myself but I understand the desire to fish.

I like the symbolism don't you?

I'm moving my studio this week....making more room

Cleaning out and cleaning up!

Trying to get all my knives and large paint tubes organized and neat for tomorrow so I can dive into painting first thing in the morning!
