"Golden Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel




Another in my "Lunar"tique series, this is the golden moon we see in our Rocky Mountain skies on occasion.  Of course, no two moonrises are the same and we are due for a full moon this weekend.  Perhaps it will look something like this painting!

"Lady Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting


Another painting in my "Lunar" Series, this has a more feminine quality to it, hence the name "Lady Moon".  I'm experimenting with different colors and palette knife styles, in addition to playing with various media to hasten drying or remove paint.  Isn't life just one big experiment, in some sense?  Not to get too heavy here....

"My Very Own Moonrise" by Karla Nolan, gallery wrapped oil painting


Well, it has been quite the summer, most unusual.  I'll spare you the details.  I have returned to painting finally and am writing my first blog since late May.  

A client contacted me a number of months ago to ask if I would paint a three foot by four foot moonrise painting.  I was astonished, as I have never painted such a large work, but gathered steam and enthusiasm and completed the chore at hand with great delight.  It was a wonderful experience stepping out of my comfort zone, as much of the painting was different hues and toes of grays.  I'm the color lady, normally!  Suffice it to say, I learned a lot!  I'll be posting a jpeg of that painting soon. (This is the first of the "Lunar Series" I'm showing.)

I was so happy with the result that my husband and I decided that we needed a moonrise painting, also.  It's been quite a while since I attempted anything for our own house, but here is the result.  I'm happy!  No, it's not for sale.  Sorry!
