"Aurora Borealis Sundown" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas



This painting is more experimental than usual for me.  It is painted with only palette knives but is smooth rather than highly textured.  The blending of the oil paints was the fun part and still the difficult aspect of this work.  It was reminiscent of photographs I've seen featuring an aurora borealis; I haven't been so fortunate as to actually see a real one.  Maybe someday?  Who knows?

"Aurora Borealis Sundown", 12"x24" palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas, $575, Paypal accepted, s&h to be determined at time of sale, click button below to buy or write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information -- and thank you for looking!

"Echinacea Field" 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). In most instances, click on the actual image for an even larger image to view -- you'll see lots of different items such as marbelization, transparent or opaque parts of the work -- try it and see! Commissions are accepted.

For the health conscious, this is one painting on glass you might appreciate.  Echinacea is a legend in the herbal world, helps you build up your immune system.  I've used it and I feel it's effective.  Whether or not you buy into this, the flower is beautiful, a lively shade of pink-purple with an orange cone center.  We grow them in our backyard and enjoy their beauty in the late summer.  Of course, I feel that they are also fun to paint -- very vivid and bright flowers.  This painting will be framed in simple black for the protection of the glass.

"Echinacea Field", 9"x12"" FRAMED in black, painting on glass, $325 includes s&h in N. America, Paypal accepted, click below to buy or write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information -- Thank you for looking!

"Dream Clouds" by Karla Nolan, oil painting on canvas panel

This painting is a combo -- palette knife oils and some brushwork.  I'm back in the experimental stage again, go figure!  All because I inadvertently packed too quickly last week to join fellow painters, omitting my palette knives (I must have 30 of them -- a bit fanatical, wouldn't you say?)  So...I was FORCED to use brushes and didn't find them to be as revolting (okay, I exaggerate!) as I remembered, almost could say I enjoyed them.  I had begun this particular painting some time ago and have returned to it periodically -- sunsets and poppies seems to be my passions right now -- so here's another Rocky Mountain sunset just for YOU!

"Dream Clouds", 16"x20" palette knife oil and brush painting on canvas panel, unframed, a deal for $640, Paypal accepted, s&h to be determined at time of sale -- I can even do this one in payments, should you wish -- write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

Thanks for looking!

"Shooting Star Trio" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Commissions are accepted.

It's been a while since I've concentrated on my glass paintings but I am happy to return to painting them.  Remember, all of my paintings on glass are sold framed so as to contain the glass in a safe place, as it is so fragile unframed.  This painting will be framed in a simple BLACK frame.  Shooting stars are a Colorado wildflower that has recently been cultivated and made available to us home gardeners, so I tend to go to town photographing them in our backyard.  They're short lived but beautiful.  

"Shooting Star Trio", 8"x10" FRAMED in black, painting on glass, $240 includes s&h in N. America, Paypal accepted, click below to buy or write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information -- Thank you for looking!

"Montepulciano Dusk" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

When traveling to Italy, we like to go to Montepulciano greatly.  It's in Tuscany and is a delightful hill town -- bigger than one would imagine upon approach.  You park your car on the edge of the town itself and walk around, up and down!  The Corso is the "course" that runs through the middle of Montepulciano and on it are art galleries, wine shops, restaurants and so on.  It was during the early evening that we saw the sun just beginning to dip behind the hills and this is my recollection of that sweet time, in oil on canvas panel.

NEW PRICING POLICY APPLIES, see below

"Montepulciano Dusk", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on canvas panel, unframed, $285 plus s/h in N. America, Paypal accepted, write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information -- and thank you for viewing!

"A Poppy A Day" by Karla Nolan, oil painting on canvas

I started a salon class with a marvelous lady, Lani Vlaanderen, yesterday and amazingly forgot to bring my palette knives!  That is a first.  So I was FORCED to confront painting with brushes.  I decided to be big about this and attack the canvas with the paintbrushes which I've had for quite some time -- was I successful?  I think so.  In fact, I now wonder why in the world I've hated brushes so much for such a long time.  Why don't you tell me what you think?

"A Poppy A Day" 16"x16" oil painting (with brushes!) on canvas panel, $290plus s&h in N. America (to be determined at time of sale), Paypal accepted,  write me for invoice or for more info at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

"Seaside" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

The ocean is a mystery to me -- I live inland but love lying on a beach and listening to the surf pound.  It is such a peaceful time, quite relaxing.  However, not living near the water really does post a problem to my way of thinking, as I usually am near it during the more pleasant months of the year, not the story winter months.  That is the mystery -- what it is like to live nearby during difficult weather?  Probably it's something I'll never experience as I don't tend to travel during the wicked winter -- ah, if I had only grown up next to the sea -- but then I wouldn't be the proud Coloradan that I am now. 

"Seaside", 8"x10" palette knife oil painting on masonite, unframed $100 includes s&h in N. America, Paypal preferred, click button below or write for more information or close ups to KarlaNolan@gmail.com -- thanks for looking! Email me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for purchase, as my prices have been lowered.  Thanks.

"Traveling Along the Rockies" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting


If you follow my art blogs at all, you know where I live -- in colorful Colorado near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.  In the evening, the winds often grab the clouds which are in the process of turning unimaginably beautiful colors and pull them along the Front Range of the Rockies.  Such a delightful scene, something one never tires of seeing (let me put this another way:  I'll never get enough of it!).  This small painting hopefully captures some of what I am describing here. 

"Traveling Along the Rockies", palette knife oil painting on canvas adhered to gatorboard, unframed, 4.75"x11", $110 includes s&h in N. America, Paypal preferred, click button below or write for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com
