"Memories of Maui" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on canvas

It has been some years since we went to Hawaii and I was interested in viewing the sunset. What a sunset it was, the sky on fire, the island across from us dark, the faint glimmer of reflections in the deep waters. Unlike any other sunset I've seen, this is my interpretation.

"Maui Beach Surf and Clouds" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting

My husband and I traveled to Hawaii some years ago and stayed on the island of Maui. There is just nothing in the world more soothing to me than the pounding of the ocean as the waves crash heading to the shore. When I painted this miniature, my travel memories kicked in and there I was, lying on the beach once again, blissed out by the incredible sounds. Ah, gotta love the ocean! (I am, of course, landlocked in my own paradise, but painting revives the good memories...)

"Lily Pad Progress" by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush oil painting

A number of years ago I painted "Poppy Progress" in pastel. This depicted the early stages of the poppy pod, on to the bud stage just before the flower opened, and then the fully opened poppy itself. I decided to try this again, but in a more complex layout. This time the subject is: lily pads.

My husband and I traveled to Maui a number of years ago and addition to touring the Road to Hana, going to a luau, and being touristy, we also visited a tropical garden. This was my very first viewing of lily pads and, although I have painted them onto glass, I don't believe I ever attempted to paint them in oil. I must say, it was a very difficult, challenging task but, as it came together over many hours, I feel that it worked. Yaay!

"Lily Pad Progress", 12"x16" palette knife, brush, oil painting on gessoed panel, $385 plus s/h to be determined, write me at KarlaNolan@mail.com for more information. Thanks for looking!
