Inspired by J.M.W. Turner, Georgia O'Keefe, Massimo Cruciani, Edgar Degas and many others, I am pleased to be an artist painting in oils (palette knife and brush), soft pastels, paintings on glass and now watercolors. My landscapes are driven by my travel memories. My flowers are inspired by the actual thing -- I once had a pressed and dried flower business. And my skies -- my hero is Turner. What more can I say? My motto: "Life is short, use color!" I hope you enjoy my show.

Pingree Park Dusk II, Palette Knife Oil Painting
Have you ever been to Pingree Park? It's in our Colorado Rocky Mountains, in the northern part of the state. There was a terrible forest fire there a few years back, but the mountains are returning to normal. New growth abounds. The sunsets there are exquisite, as you are up on a peak and can see the sky 360 degrees. Enjoy this one, okay?
"Pingree Park Dusk II", oil on canvas panel, 11"x14" $300 sold unframed, s&h charges determined at time of sale, Paypal encouraged

Sky View, painting on glass
Here's my holiday gift to you -- Christmas, Chanukah, New Year's....whatever! I recently painted a large sunset on glass -- not an easy task, mind you! Very trying. But I feel that I captured a dusk that is typical of Colorado....along the Front Range. It was a time consuming piece, simply framed so as not to steal the show from the painting.
"Sky View", 18x24" sold framed as shown, $1200 + S&H charges to be determined at time of sale.

Blue Skies of Colorado, painting on glass
There's something about this state -- it has amazingly blue skies. Some days are completely without clouds, particularly in the summer mornings. Of course, you must know my passion for sunsets...but I never take the blue of the sky for granted (having lived in New Jersey and Missouri).
"Blue Skies of Colorado", 9"x12" edge to edge glass, sold framed as shown -- close up on this website under "Works/Glass Paintings/Blues Skies of Colorado close up". S&H determined at time of sale

Poppy Blues by Karla Nolan...art sale ends soon!
More of the Himalayan blue poppies, on glass! What a fun concept, being able to grow a blue poppy. Unfortunately, this won't happen in Colorado, at least where I live, it's way too cold! This sweet bunch of poppies can be yours, framed already, if you order today! It measures 5"x7" edge to edge glass. And a close up can be seen on this website!
As mentioned above, my art sale continues....As you must know, art sales, as well as all sales, appear to be on the decline at this time... Therefore, I'm announcing on my blogs that all of the artworks shown on my website are discounted 25% through December 15th, 2008. My glass paintings are sold framed as noted and pastels, along with palette knife oil paintings, are sold unframed, but are all original paintings. Shipping prices will need to be determined per order, however, as each piece of art weighs a different amount.
Thanks for your interest. Paypal is encouraged for payment, as it's easy to do and quick. Please contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for further information.

Bright Poppy (painting on glass)...art sale still on!
Here is a perfectly happy specimen of an oriental poppy for you! It is painted onto glass and then reversed, so the smooth side of the glass faces you. It arrives already framed in a lovely gold frame. And it's a good deal! (Don't forget, I'm having a sale for 13 more days! See below, please.) My glass paintings are both painted with transparent and opaque paints, formulated specially for glass. You can also see a close up of "Bright Poppy" here or on my website at www.KarlaNolan.com (works/glass paintings).
