Irises tend to be very trying to paint, very difficult. The waviness of them, their curves, their shadows -- all a bit frustrating. And yet I enjoy attempting to capture them. Painting irises onto glass can be a little disconcerting because it is so easy to lose track of their lines -- they tend to merge together on occasion. Still, I enjoy the challenge. There is a close-up on my website.

Venice is spectacular. The canals are mesmerizing, the vapporetti (spelling?), the canal buses, charming. My husband, two daughters, and I were there several years ago and thoroughly enjoyed our adventures. If you have the opportunity, take my advice: go there! It is a legendary town, full of history, and well worth the money and time involved in traveling to see it.

I decided to add a new category to my website, www.KarlaNolan.com, entitled "Bargain Bin". Painting almost every day tends to produce a lot of paintings! And I am running out of space in my studio. So help me out, get a great deal, and scope out the new site on my site....This one was heavily inspired by travels to Wales and Ireland. I swear, I have never seen such green....

Years ago my husband and I traveled to Spain. While we were there, we decided that since Gibraltar was literally just a hop, skip and a jump, we'd check it out. Walking around was fun but what startled me was the deep, deep blue hue of the morning glories. Now you can see it, also!

Did you ever notice how the sky isn't always a blue hue? Sometimes it has green in it, sometimes, grey, often white, of course, and every once in a while I see a purple or lavender tint to it. Possibly this depends on the time of day, but in this painting it IS that time of day. This is a favorite flower for painting and lavender, at least to me, does it justice as an accent.

An all-time favorite travel destination for me, Santa Fe, New Mexico, is known as an art mecca. Adobe, color, architecture unlike any place I've lived, it's a great place to visit.

Utah is easily one of the most astonishing places in the U.S. that I have visited. Red rocks, blue skies. My kind of land! Almost like a completely different universe or planet. You should definitely, if at all possible, make sure you swing by Capitol Reef, not as famous as Bryce or Zion, but worthwhile to see.

Back to the experimental mode for me on this wintry, snowy day in Colorado. I employed both brushes (yes, you read it correctly, brushes!) and palette knife to provide the viewer with a typical, in my mind, anyway, Colorado summer dusk. What do you think?

The bright turquoise blue skies, the adobe, the clouds floating by -- this is Santa Fe. One of my all time favorite cities, as well as many artists', Santa Fe inspires me. The food, the high and dry mountains, the history -- all are such wonderful memories. No brushes used here, just knives. And fun.

Fun, fun, and more fun! This painting was a blast to create. The hills in Italy surround you -- and in spring they are loaded with wild European poppies. You cannot escape them nor would you want to, they are so delightful! Keep in mind that they are opaque, transparent, and sometimes they shimmer...the photographs do not do them justice! Close up on the website!
