"Salmon on Green", 5"x7"' unframed palette knife oil painting

Well, I must say that as much as I love poppies, they can be a pain in the you know what to paint -- especially salmon colored gems!  However, I feel I did a decent job with this one, inspired by the neighbor from across the street and her garden!  A challenge, ad that is actually a good thing!

"As the Sun Slips Behind the Loire River" by Karla Nolan, 18"x24" unframed palette knife oil painting

A number of years ago my husband and I traveled through the Loire Valley to visit Amboise.  We settled in to our tiny room, rested from the ordeals of the car travel, and prepared to dine.  As we were walking towards our restaurant, the sun was just beginning to slip behind the river.  With patience and persistence, we saw the magnificent results of another day, reflections above and below the water line.

"Warm Hues of Utah", original watercolor painting

Well, sometimes you just have got to try something new and I did that today!  This is my first watercolor painting, it's tiny, 4"x4", and I gave it to my husband as a thank you for all of his support of me, particularly the last three difficult years.  I have always liked watercolor paintings and have been inspired by John Mendoza, Sibyl Stork, my own father, Alfred Koppel, and my dear friend, Melaney Hartman.  

Here's to many more fun times in watercolor (along with all the other media, of course!)

"Looking North, Beachy Head", unframed palette knife oil painting

We love to travel to foreign lands and see new sights.  I never dreamed I'd ever get to southeastern England, the Kent ("garden of England" -- like England isn't a garden everywhere!).  We took part of a day to drive to Beachy Head, right on the English Channel.  It was an exquisite sight to see, the water, the rocks below, the lighthouse, the cliffs bright white!  I'm so pleased to have had this experience and would urge everyone who visits the U.K. to go there.  Imagine the history!

"Busy Night Skies", 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

My take on painting in any medium is this:  have fun!  Don't take yourself too seriously.  Experiment.  Try not to stress (good luck with that!)..  

"Busy Night Skies" is my interpretation in palette knife oils of what any given moment in the skies -- moon shimmering through the clouds, possible lightning strikes occurring, clouds rolling in, satellites blipping over the landscape.  And of course it all occurs over my beloved Rocky Mountains!  I had fun!
