Years ago, when I had a home based pressed and dried flower business, my very favorite flowers to press were anemones. They had to be extremely fresh, so I often grew my own. My two daughters and I would putz around the garden, deciding what flowers to plant where, what colors were more interesting to use, and so on. The girls enjoyed it at the time and these days still bring back sweet memories.
Anemones come in varying colors -- red, blue, deep purple, lighter violet -- and they are versatile flowers. I centered them into this particular glass painting with larkspur and delphinium surround them. I hope you enjoy this painting as much as the memories it conjures up for me.

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
While I grow these flowers in our garden, they are also in the wilds of Colorado, Montana, and Wyoming, and many other places. Brightly colored, they bring vibrancy to any spot in which you see them. Some people seem to be allergic to handling them, so do be careful!
I'm concentrating a bit more not only on glass paintings but also on flowers. I guess I got inspired by our trip to the states north of us -- if so, it was worth the drive!

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
Okay, I have to boast. I am especially proud of this painting. When we have traveled through the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, out on the high prairie and on the plains of this grand state, and then up through Wyoming and Montana, these flowers were everywhere! They come in bright red, orangey red, salmon, yellow, golden yellow -- and they are so much fun to spot and to paint!
I did this glass painting in a different manner from my usual and I may consider doing more in this way. I covered the entire glass, rather than either "mat" it or come up from the bottom of the glass, leaving some areas devoid of paint. This is a bit more "stained glass" looking, it was fun to do and it was a pain in the rear to do also, because it took much longer than usual. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do -- there will be more western wildflowers on my painting horizon!

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
I am working more exclusively in glass these days -- painting directly onto it, using 5-6 different types of specially formulated paints. It's hard. It's really hard. I want to capture a particular feel and look. Sometimes it glimmers. Other times I want transparency. And still other times -- opacity. I almost always paint places I have been, flowers I have either grown or seen growing in the wild. I really do love what I do, but it's a long and difficult process some days. So....if you don't see quite as many posts these days (I try for at least every other day) -- that's why. The constant experimentation, the actual painting process, then repairing, then framing -- it takes a while, believe me!
This is a cosmic painting, of sorts. The night time sky is also mesmerizing in the West; you can actually see it! I've been on either coast and the city lights don't give you a shot at the stars! I live by the foothills and the mountains -- I can only imagine what the colors are on the earth at night. Here's my presentation to you complete with close up!

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
Boy, coming back from a vacation sure takes away my energy! And I all but forgot some of my glass painting techniques, so the two most recent paintings I have finished seemed to take an eternity! Ten days off, go figure! Oh well.
It's hard to resist red poppies. We have some great blue skies here in Colorado -- so the two just seem to go together! Here's a pretty painting in a silver frame, just for you!

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
This painting is actually of Himalayan blue poppies, a poppy which I covet. They don't grow in this cold climate. However, I am seriously considering attempting to grow them as an annual, rather than a perennial, sometime in the future. They'll be potbound but that won't hurt anything.....I can get up close AND personal!
This framed painting on glass is, as I type, on the way to a new gallery in Jackson, Wyoming, a most fun town. I was accepted into their gallery for representation and am thrilled about it! So if you are interested in purchasing it, contact them at (307) 730-4619, www.wildhands.com, or visit them at 265 West Pearl in Jackson. It's a fun Western town! "Blue Poppies" 5"x7" framed painting on glass, $125.00

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
My apologies for no blogs this past week -- we were in Wyoming and Montana, drove about 2400 miles in ten days. Very beautiful but tiring!
This painting on glass is for the Richard Schmid Art Auction to benefit the Rist Canyon Volunteer Fire Department and is available at the website for bidding (www.RichardSchmidAuction.com) in the Silent Auction pages. This is an extremely worthy cause, as you can imagine, as Rist Canyon is in the Rocky Mountains, covers a large area and the fire danger in this part of the country tends to get high. The full painting is on the left and the center panel of the glass is to the right.
The painting measures 10"x22" and is framed in a black frame with the slightest hint of silver within it. It was a tough one, this triptych, very, very time consuming and frustrating. I'm delighted with the end result.

GREETINGS FROM COLORFUL FORT COLLINS, COLORADO, USA - Karla Nolan
I can almost feel it in my bones -- autumn is around the bend. The leaves are just beginning to think about turning yellow. The high country is a touch colder. Pretty soon snow might be touching down to the high ground. Elk, deer, mountain goats -- banished from the high mountains to stay a bit warmer at lower ground. I know it's just around the corner. Here is my painted memory....

This is an oil painting on canvas, 5"x11", "By the Lake". Somehow lakes have always appealed to me but I get intimidated at times by painting water. Reflections are a bit difficult, also -- but all of it is fun and that is the purpose of painting, to my way of thinking. If you overthink or stress is out, forget it!

I've been playing with oils again lately and frankly enjoying it. This one is a bit of a long and narrow painting, the type that looks great in a very simple frame. The bottom part, the mountains, are done with palette knife and the actual clouds and sky are using a brush. Sort of a double treat with texture!
