"Southwest Panorama in Reds" by Karla Nolan, watercolor on paper

There is something about the colors of the cliffs, hills, mesas, and mountains in the Southwest United States that is so intriguing to me.  There is no one shade of red involved, instead there are underlying purples, oranges, yellows, browns.  Usually there is a bright blue sky with incoming storms fully in view when observing the clouds.  I love it here in Colorado and also seeing the view in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

"Vernazza Below the Cinque Terre Trail" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

This painting isn't for sale.  It's my gift to my husband for his birthday.  He took me to this fabulous place a few years back.  I thought I was prepared.  No intention to hike, no thanks, that's not my thing!  Once we were there, however, it was obvious we had to make a trek on the trail, at least some of it.  One can take trains from town to town, also, but to catch the best view, the dirt trail (and some mud) would be involved.  Unfortunately, I had not planned for this!  I didn't bring any sort of hiking shoe or sneakers, so I did a bit of slipping and sliding.  But I got some excellent photos and ended up having a grand time!  (Especially when it was over, a bright memory!)  Ah, Italia!

"Viewing Vernazza From the Cinque Terre Trail" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink painting

 Hiking along the Cinque Terre trail in Italy was quite the adventure, especially since I had not anticipated this activity and did not bring the proper footwear.  I'm not much of a hiker but I do enjoy a good view. I surely got one from here!

"Spring Has Sprung" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

This is a bit of revamp of an earlier painting.  We have very little luck with forsythias in our yard, never have figured out why.  Our neighbors to the east of us have had good luck this year, so I was inspired by their fortune.  Spring days appear to be here.  Finally.

"Solo Act: Red Indian Paintbrush" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

You may have noticed that I love the color red, the energy, the vibrancy, the fire.  And so on.  I painted this Indian Paintbrush a few years back and was recently contacted by some folks in California interested in purchasing it.  I enthusiastically agreed, of course!  It is going to a good home and I am so happy!
