Paintings at the Marigold Arts Gallery (www.marigoldarts.com), including any sold during the current and past year, will be maintained in this list. A red dot indicates sold. Email karen.halbert@gmail.com for more information. I see my “radical impressionistic” style as veering more toward the abstract, with an underlying direction incorporating my love for my other passion, Mathematics. Many paintings utilize the Golden Ratio, with the size proportion nearing the golden mean of 1.16... (e.g., 10x16) and focal point at the spiral's internal limit. Divisions of the canvas are in a golden proportion or near it. But also: my use of palette knife encourages me to have fresher colors and texture. I am looking forward to expanding on this direction in 2019 and beyond!!Sky Magic IV

Continuing the series of palette knife experimentation with a familiar southwest mountain scene. Palette knife exclusive in this case. Alternatively, I might just do another one! Cobra water-mixable oils, somewhat expanded palette with thick palette knife strokes.

Sold Jun 20, 2019 by the Marigold Arts Gallery on Canyon Road.Officially my 100th painting recorded as sold. Primarily palette knife after a wash-in. The color was pushed: Diablo Canyon is often a range of grey only. But the morning light can cause it to glow. This is a favorite venue near my home in Santa Fe far out on a rough dirt road. The area is still being filmed in westerns. It does feel like traveling back in time when visiting and painting this site.
