Lemonhead, Oil Painting

2022

About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Karen Barton paints a pack of Lemonhead with seven glossy pieces lined in the foreground. She displays an enticing presentation of a classic candy. Karen paints with a brush and a palette knife to exhibit bold colors and subtle textures. The vibrant yellow packaging builds an eye-catching contrast against the soft blue and white background.


About the Artist
Oil painter Karen Barton creates records of everyday objects through a historical and sentimental lens. With works that feature the ingredients of a PB sandwich or the iconic blue Morton's Salt container, Karen makes a connection through the goods that reach into our homes and possibly to our childhoods. As she explains, "my paintings are of a historical nature. They mostly represent contemporary culture and our current time in history while others are ‘timeless icons.'" Karen collects her subjects at local grocery, hardware, or antique stores where she often attracts curious stares while she intently examines the items. Based in the Pacific Northwest, Karen shares a studio with her artist husband, which she describes as a busy looking place with art supplies and a bright yellow futon with Libby, their beloved studio dog.
