Karla Nolan Fine Art

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.

"Cinque Terre, Misty Day", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

My apologies, I have been swamped with family issues and haven't been able to paint for almost two weeks! Unbelievable for me! So....we're back to Italy, the Cinque Terre again, on a rare misty day. This was a challenge to paint but it turned out fine in my book. What do you think?

"Cinque Terre, Misty Day", 11"x14" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $194, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale. Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice. Thanks for looking!

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

A bit more island hopping, from Hawaii to Ireland...I know that I'm repeating myself here, I'm prone to doing that, but there are hundreds of shades of the color green in Ireland! Even in the ocean! These cliffs were precipitous -- you don't want to lose your footing here -- but they were also so glorious -- did I catch them correctly with my painting? I certainly hope so!

"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $215, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale. Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice. Thanks for looking!

"Slea Head, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

Well, lads and lassies, here is Slea Head in Ireland. We travelled there a few years back and I have been rummaging through many of my old reference photos to inspire me -- and inspire me they did! Green, green, and more green, that's Ireland! Right by the ocean, rocks jutting up -- a delightful place to be!!!!

"Slea Head, Ireland" 10"x8" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Emerald Isle", by Karla Nolan, miniature, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

Ireland truly is the land of the greens shades, hues, whatever! They are absolutely unbelievable and I firmly believe that you must travel there to believe it! We traveled there in the early summer and the skies tended to be pale blue with traveling clouds, most unlike where we live, Colorado. The lilt of the English there, then the Gaelic a bit further north, was so enjoyable to hear. A traveler's must see place.

"Emerald Isle", 4"x6" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $36 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Autumn on the Beach, Kauai", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I remember this day! It was several years ago, autumn, hot, beautiful Kauai. Incredible place to go -- I really loved it! We had the very best time hiking, swimming just a bit, going to Queen's Bath -- and the food was great! I think I captured my memory pretty well here, just to brag a bit! What do you think? Love the varying shades of blues, also....Pounding surf....ah, travel memories.....

"Autumn on the Beach, Kauai", 8"x10" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Springtime in The Marche (Italy)", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a pleasant holiday, no matter which one you celebrate, as well as a fine new year, 2011. We have had some family illness occurring, it's ongoing, but I hope to resume a more regular schedule of posting and blogging shortly.

In the meantime -- welcome to The Marche in Italy ("mar-kay") -- we were there in spring a few years ago and it was simply a grand time. Few people we met spoke fluent English, which seems fair as neither of us are fluent in Italian! So...the fields were vibrant Emerald City hills, the skies were lovely blue, the food was incredible -- nothing new in Italy, huh? I urge you to go this directions -- it's different from Rome and Tuscany -- and this is where the truffles grow, also! Yum!

"Springtime in The Marche", 8"x10" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.
