A hummingbird soars above, its jewel-colored feathers standing out against the pastel sky. Vibrant blades of grass rise from below. In this scene, artist Karen Barton found inspiration in the birds that frequently visited her garden.
About the Artist
Inspired by the beauty and intricate details of nature, artist Karen Barton captures the essence of what she observes in the world around her, especially in her own backyard. "I am particularly drawn to the delicate beauty of hummingbirds and butterflies," says Karen. After dedicating thirty years to teaching, she finally pursued her creative passion, which had been put on hold due to her busy working life. Karen listens to 80s music while painting in the studio she shares with her artist husband. The space is filled with art supplies and a bright yellow futon where their beloved dog, Libby, rests. When not painting, Karen enjoys tending to her vegetable garden, exploring culinary delights, and escaping into the magical world of literature.

Create From Your Heart, Painting, Acrylic on Canvas
By Darlene Watson
Located in Yardley, PA
With this original "Create From Your Heart" Darlene has started by boldly printing the name on the canvas with marker and then proceeded to add gestural marks, lines and bold hues side by side. Some of them are not the colours you might expect to be side by side but she is a bold fearless artist and she paints all of her works with a gentle but vibrant...... unexpected. I love that about her art. There is a feeling that she indeed creates from her heart so it was really only a matter of time that inspiration for the title would become reality. Lines with a purple, black and gold marker along with layer after layer of her graffiti style and love of Kandinsky shapes. Hot pink bouncing off of vibrant orange with splashes of teal, deep green and blue. There is a feeling here also of her love of Mitchell's paintings and her total adventurous and audacious style. Welcome and come along into the world of imagination with this Canadian Abstract Artist, Darlene Watson...
