Original oil Rain paintings by Karen Tarlton

 Why do I paint rainy scenes some people ask.

I love the rain, which is one of the reasons I love Virginia, it so frequently rains.

The water refreshes and cleans everything and my garden thrives.

The streets are bright with reflective light and it makes me want to put

on my red rain boots and dance!

There is a story line for these paintings actually.

Today I woke up to birds chirping outside my window and the loud rain from the night before

seemingly coming to an end....

then the downpour and then it actually snowed again.

So here they are.

I'm just no longer buying it :)

Original oil painting Rain Dance with Dog by Karen Tarlton

It rained this morning and now it's turned to snow!

I love the seasons despite the cold. It's

natures clock, and helps me know what month of the year it is.

Wonderful!

Original oil painting Night City Rain by Karen Tarlton

A brand new glowy, textural palette knife work.

It's raining in California today so this one seems appropriate.

It's just about dry but the yellow colors always seem to take a couple extra days.

I am  so happy to have painted so many of my collectors holiday gifts in November.

Thanks to all and it's been my pleasure.

Many are shipped off and some are on the drying racks curing and will  ship off next week.

I hope you all have time to email some photos of the works hanging in happy homes, I always love to see it!

For those of you who don't know me well, I thought I would give you an update:

Well.....I'm an artist, a mother, a wife, a gardener, a daughter, an organizer, a sister, a traveler, a scuba diver, an animal lover, a flower collector, a home body, a decorator, a blogger, and a coffee lover, chocolate fanatic!

I do love to paint and so of all my activities, this I do everyday, for some 20 years now.

We recently moved so the paintings I'm listing now are all brand new and still wet!

Rain Dance - Original oil painting by Karen Tarlton

Rain Dance

10x20

Oil

A moody, and moving new vision in luminous color. This original oil has a unique combination of color, texture, and form. A dramatic presence in any room, this symbolic painting is a great addition to any fine art collection and hangs beautifully with or without a frame on a nail.

"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance in the rain."

 and I---

Took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."
