PAINTING:
From a white canvas, I begin to see old New Orleans emerge with pure oils. I used some cad red and cad yellow in this one for added punch. I decided all palette knife and no brush as a knife seems to better suit New Orleans. Good Jazz music and lots of vibrant color.

INSPIRATION:
I have had many requests for more New Orleans French Quarter paintings and promise to try to keep painting more. This city is like the Paris of our country. Everyone who has ever been there loves it and some of the best people are from New Orleans. I love its antiquity and architecture, soul and charm. It is a joy to paint....hope you enjoy.

New Orleans Jazz Glow painting by Karen Tarlton fine art impressionism

This is my favorite month of the year!

Love the smell of a fresh tree and the feel of festive lights

and the coziness of a crackling fire.

All the paintings are shipped and packages boxed up

for the season.

Happy Holidays!

New Orleans French Quarter romance palette knife fine art impressionism by Karen Tarlton

Remembering love and honoring loved ones lost this memorial day.

So many people have sacrificed so much

and served us and our country with such incredible integrity.

When I paint, I think of so many things, but sometimes it's just

about remembering.

As a military spouse I feel such a bond with my fellow military and they are all family to me.

I have so many friends and family members that love New Orleans so here is the latest.

New Orleans Starry Night Rain Original oil painting by Karen Tarlton

"If you want to find the secrets of the Universe,

think in terms of energy, frequency and vibration."

~Nikola Tesla

In this piece, you can almost hear the melody;

the piano man and the harmonica;

and the hum of the light rain on the colorful streets.

Just recently finished this commission.

She requested Jackson Square Van Gogh style!

Vincent Willem van Gogh was a Dutch post-impressionist painter whose work, notable for its rough beauty, emotional honesty, and bold color, had a far-reaching influence on 20th century art

He is a personal favorite of mine and has influenced my art as well.

One from the archives!  This painting is sold but I do paint New Orleans all the time and have prints for sale of this painting!  I'm very concerned about the flooding of the Mississippi and hope New Orleans is spared!  Hope all is well and my heart is with you all!
