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.

"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!
