"Dusk at Vernazza, Cinque Terre", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed panel

2011-04-08T11:06:00.000-06:00

Ah, back to Italy, the lovely town of Vernazza. If you weren't already in love with your husband (which I am!), you would fall back into love here. It is just so romantic, so unusual, so -- delicious! We had the very best dinners here, including a sampler platter, enormous, of about five different fresh anchovy dishes. Unbelievable! Bellisimo! You must visit, hike the trail between the five towns, take the local train -- just heavenly, one of the best memories I have of traveling.

"Dusk at Vernazza, Cinque Terre", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on linen panel, sold unframed, $215 includes s/h in U.S., to be determined elsewhere at time of sale; please write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

"Purple Pansies Portrait", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen pan

2011-04-03T10:12:00.005-06:00

I just love pansies. I always have, always will. Years ago I owned a pressed and dried flower business -- I planted, picked, pressed/dried flowers and made them into pieces of art. Pansies were among my favorite flowers to use. Purple pansies rock!

"Purple Pansies Portrait", 8"x10" palette knife and brush oil painting on linen panel, sold unframed, $100 includes s/h in U.S., to be determined elsewhere at time of sale; please write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

"Ladybugs on Yucca Flowers", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush oil painting on linen panel

2011-03-30T15:09:00.002-06:00

Okay, I'm going to toot my horn on this particular painting, as I am extremely proud of it. I wanted to go a more simple route with lighter colors and still have an impact. Painting a light wash in oil first, then gradually adding the buds and flowers of the yucca bush, and layering on several ladybugs did the trick for me. I hope you like it as much as I do! And....yes, it's a great price, a great deal! So there!!!

"Ladybugs on Yucca Flowers", 10"x8"" palette knife and brush oil painting on linen panel, sold unframed, $100 includes s/h in U.S., to be determined elsewhere at time of sale; please write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

"Victoria's Sunset", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting on linen panel

2011-03-27T15:20:00.001-06:00

I was painting with friends the other day, all organized and such, but realized at the last second that I had somehow managed to forget my trusty and beloved palette knives! Unbelievable! So my friend, Vicki, lent me hers, hence the name of this painting! Thanks, Vicki!

"Mesa Verde: Panaromic View", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting on gessoed panel

2011-03-11T11:52:00.003-06:00

Long a favorite place to visit, down in the southwestern corner of Colorado, Mesa Verde is almost hidden upon first approach. It has cliff dwellings nestled into an opening which you can walk through, climb up ladders, peer down into kivas -- all sorts of interesting opportunities to explored the now defunct Anasazi civilization dwellings. I'd highly recommend visiting there. Possibly this is needless to say, but it certainly was a challenge to paint!

"Mesa Verde: Panaromic View", 11"x14" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed panel, sold unframed, $195 plus s/h to be determined at time of sale; please write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

"Solo Act: Red Indian Paintbrush", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting on gessoed panel

2011-03-08T12:58:00.003-06:00

I've been ill with a sinus infection this last week or so -- miserably ill. I know, being sick is the body's way of saying "slow down" -- and I saw "whatever!" That said, here is the gift to myself, a fun and favorite flower of mine to paint, the Indian paintbrush which grows wild in the West and Southwest parts of the U.S. A big "cheer me up" to myself!

"Bryce Canyon Beckons", by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

2011-03-02T16:29:00.002-06:00

Years ago, we went to Utah to explore the terrain. I took numerous reference photos, naturally, but somehow they never did get printed. I tend to leave these on the computer, much like many others do. My husband would refer to our journey there occasionally and I would say, yes, that I'd get some copies made of Bryce Canyon but never got around to it. So, instead, I decided to paint a scene from Bryce for him as a gift -- and here it is. If you haven't been to Utah, baby, you haven't lived!!!!!

"Bryce Canyon Beckons", 14"x11" palette knife and brush oil painting on stretched canvas -- not for sale -- unless you would like something similar, at which time you can let me know that by writing me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com!

"Shoreline Sunset", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, oil painting, linen panel

2011-02-25T13:06:00.001-06:00

It's snowing here in Colorado. Again. Just when we had a strong whiff of spring, here comes the white stuff falling from the sky. Go figure. I am so over winter and yet it's been a relatively mild one here so I know that I have no business complaining.

It seems to be more fruitful to remember the hot summer nights with the beautiful sunsets along the shoreline....yes, past tense for now, but hopefully more shoreline sunsets await me.

"Shoreline Sunset", palette knife/brush oil painting on 8"x10" linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

2011-02-21T20:00:00.002-06:00

I believe that some sunsets have charisma -- multiple layers of color, movement, and so on. This piece of artwork took on a life of it's own, is a bit textured, lots of hues, and of course over my beloved Rocky Mountains. What a hoot!

2011-02-17T21:11:00.002-06:00

A quick note here -- my husband name this one -- I may ask for more assistance in titling in the future! This title captures the essence of the little (miniature) painting -- what more can I say?

"Whilst in Lismore, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting

2011-02-13T17:11:00.002-06:00

Sometimes titling artwork can actually be fun, rather than frustrating or tedious. Our family travelled some time ago to Ireland, a most delightful country, and we visited Lismore briefly. I could not resist this title and hope you, too, enjoy the small bit of whimsy from a Yankee who really never uses the word "whilst"!

"Kauai: From Queen's Bath Looking at the Pacific Ocean", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

2011-02-06T11:39:00.001-06:00

If you have ever visited Kauai, perhaps you've hiked down to Queen's Bath, a pool hidden away in a tranquil spot, very close to the Pacific Ocean. This serene pool is fed by the ocean, is embedded with rocks, and frankly, is quite romantic! At least I felt it was....looking out towards the ocean was marvelous and the entire experience has never left my mind. What a joy!

2011-01-31T15:46:00.002-06:00

My apologies, I have been swamped with family issues and haven't been able to paint for almost two weeks! Unbelievable for me! So....we're back to Italy, the Cinque Terre again, on a rare misty day. This was a challenge to paint but it turned out fine in my book. What do you think?

"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

2011-01-18T10:41:00.002-06:00

A bit more island hopping, from Hawaii to Ireland...I know that I'm repeating myself here, I'm prone to doing that, but there are hundreds of shades of the color green in Ireland! Even in the ocean! These cliffs were precipitous -- you don't want to lose your footing here -- but they were also so glorious -- did I catch them correctly with my painting? I certainly hope so!

"Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai: Where the Sky Meets the Ocean", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

2011-01-15T21:11:00.002-06:00

Life has been a bit unsettling lately, family things and all. I guess that's just how it goes these days. The "sandwich" generation.

Last weekend it snowed like crazy and I was unable, due to the icy roads, to go to Loveland to paint with my friends. So...I set up shop in the kitchen on the breakfast table. This is something I try NOT to do, as I do cook a fair amount and you shouldn't have oil paints near food -- more clean up time for me!

However, I am happy to say that I enjoyed painting! Two larger works came out of the day -- and here is the first of them: "Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai: Where the Sky Meets the Ocean" -- we were there a number of years ago and I'm no great hiking fan or great hiker! Ultimately, I did enjoy the day, but with this trail you go DOWN first, UP last! Aagh! Hot, sweaty, warm weather, it was tedious but well worth the energy. The Grand Canyon of Kauai and Hawaii, as I recall -- and I think it may be true! At least I avoided the helicopter tour -- dysequilibium would have reigned!

"Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai: Where the Sky Meets the Ocean", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $215, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale. Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice. Thanks for looking!

"Spring Poppies" costs $75.00; s/h is determined at time of sale.

2011-01-10T15:19:00.003-06:00

Well, lads and lassies, here is Slea Head in Ireland. We travelled there a few years back and I have been rummaging through many of my old reference photos to inspire me -- and inspire me they did! Green, green, and more green, that's Ireland! Right by the ocean, rocks jutting up -- a delightful place to be!!!!

"Emerald Isle", by Karla Nolan, miniature, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

2011-01-08T19:57:00.002-06:00

Ireland truly is the land of the greens shades, hues, whatever! They are absolutely unbelievable and I firmly believe that you must travel there to believe it! We traveled there in the early summer and the skies tended to be pale blue with traveling clouds, most unlike where we live, Colorado. The lilt of the English there, then the Gaelic a bit further north, was so enjoyable to hear. A traveler's must see place.

"Emerald Isle", 4"x6" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $36 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Autumn on the Beach, Kauai", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

2011-01-04T17:58:00.002-06:00

Ooh, ooh, ooh! I remember this day! It was several years ago, autumn, hot, beautiful Kauai. Incredible place to go -- I really loved it! We had the very best time hiking, swimming just a bit, going to Queen's Bath -- and the food was great! I think I captured my memory pretty well here, just to brag a bit! What do you think? Love the varying shades of blues, also....Pounding surf....ah, travel memories.....

"Springtime in The Marche (Italy)", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel

2011-01-01T13:40:00.002-06:00

Happy New Year! I hope all of you had a pleasant holiday, no matter which one you celebrate, as well as a fine new year, 2011. We have had some family illness occurring, it's ongoing, but I hope to resume a more regular schedule of posting and blogging shortly.

In the meantime -- welcome to The Marche in Italy ("mar-kay") -- we were there in spring a few years ago and it was simply a grand time. Few people we met spoke fluent English, which seems fair as neither of us are fluent in Italian! So...the fields were vibrant Emerald City hills, the skies were lovely blue, the food was incredible -- nothing new in Italy, huh? I urge you to go this directions -- it's different from Rome and Tuscany -- and this is where the truffles grow, also! Yum!

"Springtime in The Marche", 8"x10" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Misty Sky at Cinque Terre", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush oil painting, linen panel

Now, while continuing on our foreign travel, we come to the Cinque Terre, well known terrain of Italy. However, while we arrive, we notice how misty it is -- and a bit rainy! Not the weather we expected -- always heard about the bright blue skies and all -- but we are Coloradans and are so used to blue skies, we can deal with this just fine. It is simply WONDERFUL! A must see!

"Misty Sky at Cinque Terre", 8"x10" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Flower Urn in the French Garden", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush oil painting, linen panel

2010-12-19T18:25:00.002-06:00

I am not 100% positive of this, but I think I recall this garden scene, complete with old and large flower urn, at Chateau de Chenonceau in France. I do remember being in awe of such a gorgeous garden, replete with shade, sun, arches, urns, and amazing flowers. I'd got back in a mere flash if it were only possible!!!

"The Cher River From Chateau de Chenonceau", by Karla Nolan, palette knife/brush oil painting, linen panel

2010-12-15T13:15:00.002-06:00

I must say I am very pleased with how this painting turned out. Green is the most frustrating color with which I work. There are so many shades, hues: blues, greys, yellows, all play into the different shades of green. Reflections are also a huge challenge. You think: oooh, I got it right this time, you step back, move forward to fix....maybe now? All in all, painting is just one major analytical challenge! But I still enjoy it! Go figure!

This part of France, the Loire Valley, is enchanting. The Chateau de Chenonceau is a huge castle; the grounds were as lovely as the interior. If you have the opporunity, put it on your "must see" list and go backwards in time.

"The Cher River From Chateau de Chenonceau" 10"x8" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Normandy House, Red Poppies", by Karla Nolan, palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel

2010-12-12T16:27:00.001-06:00

More red coquelicot! Yes, it's true. The French countryside is just so charming, it's hard for me not to return, but it's not in the cards for now. Painting it will simply have to suffice. Mon dieu! Oh well. I hope you like it as much as I do!

"Normandy House, Red Poppies", 8"x10" palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $100 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Bright Bougainvillea" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife painting on linen panel

2010-12-10T14:20:00.005-06:00

A return to Sonoma, California -- there was an alley of sorts just loaded with the most incredible, casually growing bougainvillea. The reason I refer to it as "casually growing" is that these beautiful plants grow anywhere and everywhere in the correct climate -- and California certainly has the lovely climate needed, as do parts of southern Europe, Italy, France, and Spain. The flowers are just tiny, it's the brackets that shine with color....I grow them indoors in the cooler months here and put them outside to shine with their glory during the summer months.

"Bright Bougainvillea" 6"x4" miniature palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel, $36 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

"Peppy!" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel

2010-12-07T22:22:00.005-06:00

I am besotted by miniatures these days and could not resist "sharing" with you, as they say these days, this sweet little painting of four red, happy poppies, just waiting for you to say -- "I want you! You make me very happy! You have lifted my spirits today!" or something along those lines.....

2010-12-06T21:03:00.002-06:00

Back to my ocean and night themes -- not much to be said here, just a moon lighting up a sea or ocean! Rhode Island, Washington, California, New Jersey -- who knows where this scene originates? Does it really matter? (Click on the painting to see it enlarged....)

"Colorful Irises" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

2010-12-03T16:51:00.002-06:00

Irises tend to be very trying to paint, very difficult. The waviness of them, their curves, their shadows -- all a bit frustrating. And yet I enjoy attempting to capture them. Painting irises onto glass can be a little disconcerting because it is so easy to lose track of their lines -- they tend to merge together on occasion. Still, I enjoy the challenge. There is a close-up on my website.

"Colorful Irises", framed painting on glass, 10"x22" edge to edge glass, sold framed in black, Paypal preferred, $675 plus s/h to be determined at time of sale, e-mail me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

"Cascades Skyscape" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel

2010-12-02T15:01:00.005-06:00

Boy, you talk about living in the past! I have been going through a few dozen old reference photos and I came up with this one from my visit to Seattle, Washington, a couple of years back. Bam! I was right back there in my mind, remembering the phenomenal skies I saw near dusk. Memories came flooding back -- good ones! What a blast!

"Tranquil Eve" by Karla Nolan, palette knife/brush oil painting on linen panel

2010-12-01T12:09:00.002-06:00

I'll been on a roll lately with my oil painting, probably making up for all of last week when I was ill with bronchitis. I honestly HATE being sick, I get so cranky when I can't create, and am perfectly miserable. Yech! I can't even stand myself! However, now it's back to the artwork, even though I have remnants of my illness. Phooey on them! Go away, sickness, come back, art works!!!!!

I painted a similar painting a few years back with the tiniest of palette knives; this time I used brushes, as well. Ah, the beautiful time of day, sunset, dusk, twilight, sundown -- call it what you will, it is the prettiest to me.

"Venezia" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting on linen panel

2010-11-30T16:59:00.004-06:00

I painted this once before, years ago, on an 18"x24" sanded pastel board and enjoyed composing it so much that I did it again on linen panel, but this time as a miniature. Anyone who has not been to Venice -- I urge you to go there, it is truly amazing -- Enough said!

"Poppies in Abstract" by Karla Nolan, framed painting in glass

2010-11-28T10:57:00.001-06:00

ALERT: You are about to view art of a different nature. These are paintings on glass -- that is, painted directly onto glass with specially formulated glass paints. They are always framed for the protection of the glass. The paints often are transparent and sometimes opaque, giving a stained glass appearance under good light. They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs do not do them justice -- my colors are very vibrant. Close ups are available, just e-mail me for information (see below). In most instances, click on the actual image for an even larger image to view -- you'll see lots of different items such as marbelization, transparent or opaque parts of the work -- try it and see! Commissions are accepted.

A bit blurred, sort of dreamy, these poppies were more experimental than some I have painted. They are painted directly onto the glass, naturally, and framed in simple black which I feel highlights the flowers and certainly does protect that glass! Just sort of a small sweetness of a painting....

"Poppies in Abstract", 5"x7" measured edge to edge glass, framed as shown, $135 includes s/h in U.S., Paypal invoice sent to you if you e-mail me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

I have also set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

"A Taste of Utah, Capitol Reef" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on gessoed board

2010-11-26T18:43:00.002-06:00

Color, color, color. I'm all about color. So is Utah. Drive over, fly to, make sure you get to visit Capitol Reef, probably one of the least known spots in Utah, but surely one of the most dramatic. Admittedly, I did play up the colors a bit here, but there's a reason for that: it's called "artistic license". The skies are blues, the rocks are reds, oranges, golds, corals, all sorts of colors. The place is a blast!

"A Taste of Utah, Capitol Reef", palette knife oil painting on gessoed board, 11"x`4" , $192.50 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course.

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.
