"Sparkly Western Sunset" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting




 I painted this sunset a while back with my handy palette knives and couldn't decide on a name for it.  Looking at it in different lighting situations, I kept notice how sparkly it was, a high gloss varnish added to the colors greatly.  Thus the name was born:  "Sparkly Western Sunset" -- because that is what it is, full of life and color!  A sweet miniature...

"Rocky Mountain Dusk" by Karla Nolan unframed palette knife oil painting




This is a larger painting, 16"x20" unframed.  It is the quintessential Rocky Mountain scene, so typically Colorado.  If you want to get an idea of what it is like to live near the mountains, just look at this painting, I think you'll get the hang of it!  It really can be dramatic as the last rays of the sun appear over the forthcoming mountain silhouette.

"Daybreak!", by Karla Nolan, 18"x24" unframed palette knife oil painting


I love painting the skies.  I don't like early morning, however, and have missed many a pretty dawn here in Colorado.  Silhouettes of bushes and trees have always intrigued me.  So I thought I'd bite the bullet and put together an early morning scene.  Maybe I'll reconsider and start rising earlier.  (I doubt it!)

"Moonlight Mountain Triptych" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass





Quite a task, this painting on glass.  It took forever to compose and then execute but I'm very satisfied, happy, with the results.  The photos don't do it just but then this is the sort of artwork best seen in person, I guess.

"I Want to Live Here!" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting




Colorado is my favorite state in this country.  Not only was I born here but I plan to die here.  Fort Collins, here in the northern part of the state, is my "little slice of paradise".  Life here is good.  We have the plains, the high prairie, the mountains, the rugged and rocky terrain of the western part of the state, also.  I feel very fortunate.  The paintings says it all.

Thanks for viewing my art!  Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado

"Peach Iris Duo" by Karla Nola, framed painting on glass



The neighbors across the street have the most magnificent peach irises, I was inspired to paint them onto glass, surround them blue skies and green leaves.  I'm happy with the results, are you?

"Mysterious Rocky Mountain Sunset" by Karla Nolan framed painting on glass





Well, this is a mysterious art post!  I haven't quite decided what exactly is occurring in the sky of this painting on glass, so decided to "go with the flow, the mystery of it all".  I see many things happening in this sunset and I hope that you do, also.  I see no sense in defining everything that happens with these crazy glass paints!
