This series of small works reflect a limited palette but rich with textures: medium transfers, heavy gels, moulding pastes, collaged papers and many layers. They are not full novels, but are, instead, my poetry.
VIRTUES Series.. Elderly people as virtues: Here are four completed pieces in a series of seven. The every-day-ness of these old folks are what make the virtues they represent accessible, enjoyable, enriching. Their presence in our communities is as essential and life-giving as the birth of a new baby.

`Thirsty`(40x30, acrylic, handmade paper, goldleaf on canvas) by Karen Tamminga-Paton SOLD
Boats in strange places...a new series exploring the sense of displacement, or adventure, the range of which we all experience from time to time in our lives. In our mobile, globally fluid times, we find ourselves on new landscapes and then must learn how to live in them. If we are fortunate, it's by choice - a challenge, new inspiration, a fresh start! But often it's not so... and then we are the boat navigating a grassy slope, utterly beyond what we feel equipped for. These small paintings explore resiliency - an uncanny and fascinating quality, and each of us has a measure of it.

Smart Owl Series
Below is a collection of paintings on ways of knowing - my way of pondering the conversations I've become immersed in lately because of Alberta Education's fascinating and courageous exploration into 21st Century learning. Each owl is perched atop its personal ripped-out page from the beloved antique bird book I've been painting on/with/in all summer (see below).

"Work In Progress is a collaborative painting in which I Have purposely left the process visible and now invite others to complete it. People in my community donated the thread, needles and thimbles. They added their touch. It was set up, horizontally like a quilt, for the summer at the art gallery in Rosebud for others to mess with. It was full of surprises by the end of the summer!
