"Sailing Between the Pines" by Karen Tarlton




Media: Oil on Canvas
Dimensions: 20”x 24”
Date: 2000

 Karen Tarlton is originally from California. She has studied art at the University of California at Davis and the Corcoran School of Fine Art in Virginia. Tarlton travels extensively and still continues to study art. For the last ten years she has been a full time professional artist.

 “This original oil conveys a sense of light and air and the joys of a fantastic mountain lake, with expressive textured brush and palette knife work. I have many memories of Lake Tahoe, my childhood home, and its beauty never ceases to amaze me. . . A vibrant and sophisticated piece to add to any fine art collection, or the perfect stand out work of art to start one!”

 Karen Tarlton painted Sailing Between the Pines with oil paints in the palette knife method, like many of her other paintings. This method of applying several layers of paint causes a three dimensional appearance. This painting is available for sale as a print from Karen’s Fine Art online.

 Sailing Between the Pines is the artist’s fond recollection of her childhood memories. It is hazy, without distinct boundaries or features. It is the impression of a memory, of a dream from the past.
