Violin Girl paintings by Karen Tarlton palette knife impressionism

Two new favorites are finished.

THE PAINTINGS:

This is part of my "Women in the Arts series". I varnish coffee stained violin sheet music on a primed canvas and then add layer upon layer of first acrylic and then oils. I allow some of the sheet music to show through, where the paint is just thinnly glazed with oil, so that you see some of what it is she and I are so inspired by....the music! It takes a lot of time to paint these figurative paintings but I enjoy every second of it and love the results! I hope you do too.

Original oil painting Violinist "Blue Note" by Karen Tarlton - palette knife fine art impressionism

I dedicate my life to art, so ideas surround me, and I find beauty everywhere. The richness of life is where I find my inspiration, from the wonderous to the sadness. Music, too, is a big part of my journey. From Bach and Tchaikovsky to jazz and rock, I always have music playing while I am painting. Music is a perfect inspiration.

Violin Vision in Blue original oil painting by Karen Tarlton

Oil

I know the holiday season has begun

when I'm so busy painting

I don't have time to blog ;)

This is one of my favorite figurative works to date.

Impressionism is all about piecing colors together so that when

one is next to another they visually unite into something

Beautiful.

The knife allows me to lay the paint like frosting.

Sculpting the color into form is what I do.

Joy!

Violinist in Blue by Karen Tarlton - figurative impressionism

This original oil has a unique combination of color, texture, and exquisite form. Painted with abstract texture and intentional use of color, I unravel an unspoken narrative replete with harmonious ideals of grace, beauty, and drama.

My daughter plays the violin beautifully and she is always an inspiration to my musical figurative pieces, and so is her music!!!

After watching my daughter's orchestra concert I was once again inspired to paint a musical piece!  Lots of movement, texture and color...passion and figurative drama!

This painting is headed over to KR Designs gallery in Fort Myers, FL
