t's not only the color thing that thrills me, it's the texture. Lots of broken color helps leave a soft coastal impression I think.

"End of Day" by Paula Formanek
What's on My Easel? 🎨
Just completed ... 'End of Day', thick oil impasto on birch, 15 x 20 cm ... part of my 'Sun Wonders Series' ... I love how the colours of the sky change in the evening and filter through the trees ... based on a photograph I took not far from my home on the Rideau Canal.

These small paintings are a way of exploring ideas which may or may not be taken further in a larger painting. I'm not a sketchbook type of person so this is my way of trying different colour combos and marks.

Birthday Flowers!!
Way back in December, my son and his wife sent me some beautiful flowers for my birthday. The first thing I did was photograph them. Then I forgot about the photos!
I finally found them last week, and decided to try my hand at one. I am very intimidated by flowers. They seem so complex and I rarely meet that sweet spot between too little or too much detail. I am not so sure about this one, but I do like the colors.
Try, try and try again!

Marsh Landscape with herons, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil SOLD
This little painting on linen, is a study for a 30x40" commission that I am working on.
I painted several small studies, until the client was happy with the composition.
I think this has a slightly "romantic"feel about it, quite different than my usual pieces. I kept the brushwork and the colors softer than my usual works.
When I first started painting, there were so many rules to learn. I never knew what the finished piece would look like and usually started without a specific feel in mind. After all these years, I am finally feeling a little control in my work, but, oh so much more to learn!
I know for me, this is the appeal of painting, always trying to challenge myself and escalate my skills. Very frustrating and also very rewarding and ALWAYS interesting!
Have a great day!

Oil paintings by Karen Tarlton sunflowers and Rain Romance palette knife impressionsim
A couple new favorites.
I can't believe it's already December and off we go.
I'm delighted to paint for so many of your Christmas and holiday gifts......such a joy.
Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Seascape Painting, 12x12x1.5" Oil
I am still in a seascape frame of mind.
This is worked with a palette knife. I enjoy lots of texture, so I left it on this piece. Maybe it is more of a skyscape? Maybe it is more abstract or impressionistic? Whatever it is, it reflects my mood at the time, which I think, is the point of painting.
Thanks for viewing my blog today.

"Daily Baguette" by Lynda Cookson
After a bit of a break from painting to spend more time on photography, I've had a good year for commissions so it's back to the easel for me with another commission to complete.
"Daily Baguette" now belongs to one of my clients who is requesting another commission .... yay! an excuse to play with oils and palette knives again!

Dog Portrait, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, 16x20x1.5 Animal Painting, SOLD
Today, I am posting a commission painting. I find that doing a commission is a whole different ball game. Do you agree?
The client was asking for three paintings of his two dogs. One of each, and one of both animals.

| detail SOLD This is the first painting. I always second guessing myself when I work on a commission. Does the client want this, or do that want that. Is it too dull for them, or too bright, or too much detail, or not enough. It is hard guessing what a perfect stranger would like! Add to that the dreaded deadline! In this case, I had only a short time to complete the artwork, due to my schedule. What if I failed and produce a suitable painting in the allotted time? While commissions are stressful for me, I always welcome them.....I just have to remeber the sense of accomplishment I have, when the project is accepted by the client. I believe a little stretch is good for everyone, especially us artists Thanks for reading my blog today......and keep painting! |

Abstract Oil Painting, Daily Painting, Textured Art, "Rainy Day in Albany" 10x10x3" Contemporary Art SOLD
This painting was a happy accident! Well, maybe not the painting, but the total effect.
I purchased some art supplies online and was very surprised (and maybe dismayed) to see that two sizes of canvases we actually 3" deep! How did that happen? I thought about returning them, but after calculating the return shipping, I realized that would not work.
So what to do? They seemed so in-your-face, not the right canvas for a delicate rose.
I decided abstract was the way to go. I wanted lots of texture, but still need contract in the texture.
Yes, it can go on the wall.....but why? I love it sitting on a shelf, pretending to be a sculpture.
And guess what! A manufacturer loved it too, so it is licensed and may be appearing in a department store near you soon, pretending to be a pillow or maybe a duvet.
Thanks for reading my blog today.

A Collection of Animal and Bird Paintings, Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
I was looking at some of my images and was really surprised to see how many bird and animal paintings I have done. I thought today would be a good day to post a few of my old time favorites.
It is always interesting and educational to review the painting journey that you have been on. I like to line up older paintings, chronologically, which helps me to see the improvements I have made and the ones I would like to make in the future. Always an interesting exercise.
Have a painterly day and thanks for visiting!
