"My Iris" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

Okay, I'm jumping the gun on spring, I admit it.  In fact, it is snowing again as I type, heading into April.  The green foliage has emerged from the ground but the iris buds are not ready to peek out yet.  I'm more than ready to see this iris plant once more.  Enough with the snow!

"Nestled In the Italian Hills" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

 Amazing to me but true, this is my 600th blog post.  That is simply incredible, I didn't realize I had been writing and showing my art works this much but I must say, this fact makes me pretty happy!  The travels with my husband and my children have inspired me greatly and, of course, the skies and the flowers have contributed mightly, as well!

"Mighty Masada (Israel)" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

 It was a once in a lifetime trip for me, I'd always wanted to go to Israel and "see the sights", see old friends, see distant cousins.  We were able to travel to Jerusalem, the Golan Heights, the Upper and Lower Galilee, the Dead Sea, and Masada.  You simply must go if you can, we felt safe the entire time and it was truly magnificent.  The story of Masada is incredible, I'd suggest you learn about it if you can.

"Poppies Among the Greek Ruins at Paestum" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

 Several years ago we travelled to Italy and visited a more southern region.  It took a while to reach Paestum, but the drive was worthwhile, as we were able to walk around ancient Greek ruins, still standing to a degree.  And, yes, of course, there were the wild red poppies!  What a delight!

"Coalescence" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

I enjoy the late part of the day, just before dusk, especially when viewing anything relating to water (reservoir, lake, river, stream, ocean).  The way the light of the sky bounces off the water is especially intriguing and putting all of the hue together makes for a great challenge.  I hope I've met it in the painting.

"Dusk In The Forest" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

The most evocative time of the day for me, I love the sometime quietly colorful skies at dusk.  Imagine walking up the road in the forest at this lovey time of day and you can see my vision.  This is a small painting that is ready to pop into that frame and put on the wall!

"Sorbet Sunset" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

 The dark silhouette of the foothills and mountains, the warmth leaving the skies, nightfall is ahead.  What does any of this have to do with sorbets, the light treat between meal courses?  Nothing!  Nothing at all!  I was just inspired by the colors of the sorbets I recall having at a few fancy dinners.  (Wink!)
