"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!
