Vineyard landscape and Lavender landscape by Karen Tarlton palette knife fine art impressionism

I love the lovely tapestry of color that seems to be woven through rural landscapes.

Plein air painting was my thing for over 10 years because I love the way the colors seem richer and brighter outdoors.

Hope you enjoy these two new ones.

"Red Poppy" by Lynda Cookson

I just put this one up today. The Poppy Collection I did a couple of years ago, whilst working towards a commission painting, remain one of my favourites. They usually pop up where their scarlet petals show up best, in fields of Lavender or Corn. This is what google has to say about what Poppies represent:

"In the spring of 1915, shortly after losing a friend in Ypres, a Canadian doctor, Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae was inspired by the sight of poppies growing in battle-scarred fields to write a now famous poem called 'In Flanders Fields'. After the First World War, the poppy was adopted as a symbol ofRemembrance."

This painting is simply called "Red Poppy" and is a palette knife painting (what else if from me! LOL) on paper, with a white matt board. It's set against a creamy yellow background as if waving around happily in a field of corn.

The unframed measurements are Width 12" by Height 11" (or Width 30 cm x Height 28 cms)

"Poppy in Fields of Lavender" by Lynda Cookson

I recently had reason to send this little number out as a printable digital image ... and it's so nice to be reminded of the times specific paintings were created in :-) This one looked a little Christmassy ... I suppose the red did it!

This is another of the challenge paintings from September just finished. In fact it only needed a couple of small strokes to finish it off. These 'cabanons' are dotted all over the provence countryside. Many of them are in ruins and nature quickly takes over.

I am trying to stage my photos more professionally so I set this up and used my studio lamp which gives a blue light. It worked quite well, I think. I shall try this with some of my other paintings and see if I can reproduce it - but without the paint splattered easel LOL. Adds authenticity though doesn't it?

Oil on 3mm MDF canvas panel

This painting nearly slipped through the net. I painted it last year after my yearly trip to the lavender fields. For some reason I missed posting it! A shame because I really like the way it it turned out.

I thought you might like to see my inspiration photo. As you can see I used my artistic license to it's full extent, adding foreground colour and encouraging the far lavender field into bloom.

Tell me how you would have handled this photo.

This is a scene from our last lavender trip. We were in a different area than normal and some of the hillside were covered in brilliant yellow which contrasted so well with the lavender. This is a study in not over-working and keeping it loose with a larger painting in mind. 

By the way - the yellow was broom in full flower. Wonderful.

A Taste of Summer, sunflower and lavender by Marion Hedger

 "A taste of summer" sunflower and lavender painting

by Marion Hedger

19x27cm, oil on canvas board, palette knife painting
SOLD

This is a rework of one of my Garden 101 series and fresh off the easel today. At the time, I put it in my discard pile, as, although I liked the concept, the painting did not come out as expected.

I am not having a lot of success with my iris paintings at the moment, so as a change, I got this painting out and reworked it using a palette knife and fresher looking paint.
I really like it now. Quite loose and fresh looking to my eyes. Let me know what you think.
This painting is sold, contact me about any other painting HERE

"Poppy Amongst Lavender" by Lynda Cookson

I've just returned from a visit to my daughter and three granddaughters in the UK. The eldest two girls are old enough to feel special about a day alone with granny. The seven year old, Evie, decided that a day at the Lavender farm, picking armfuls of lavender, was her choice .... but she forgot about all the bees! Never mind, calm reactions meant that the bees were soon forgotten and a paper bag was filled with not only purple lavender, but white lavender as well.

Amongst the lavender, wild Poppies were growing ... which brought this little study into being.

"Poppy Amongst Lavender" is available for sale HERE or click either of the two images below or their titles.

Daily Painting, "Waves", Seascape, 6x8", Oil, SOLD

I enjoy trying to capture the feel of the surf rushing to shore on my canvas.

The ocean seems to have a different character and color each time I visit.  This is the east coast of Florida, while California is much more rugged and has a deep rich blue hue.

I like to use my daily paintings very informally in my home.  Just prop them up where ever the mood strikes! No frame necessary!
