"B is for Bougainvillea" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

ALERT: You are about to view art of a different nature. These are paintings on glass -- that is, painted directly onto glass with specially formulated glass paints. They are always framed for the protection of the glass. The paints often are transparent and sometimes opaque, giving a stained glass appearance under good light. They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs do not do them justice -- my colors are very vibrant. Close ups are available, just e-mail me for information (see below).

"B is for Bougainvillea" was a fun piece of art to create but, honestly, very trying. I added layer upon layer of paint, scratched out occasionally (sgraffito) and added on and in. Very complex. The bougainvillea is a magnificent plant to see -- very tall at times and full of life and colors. I find that they are almost impossible to paint in traditional media, oils or pastels for me, but that using glass paints and layering, I can get the effect I want.
