"Coral Moon Behind Mountains" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting




Wow!  Talk about synchronicity and timing and such!  The blood moon that occurred in recent days is all over the media and, amazingly, I am still in my lunar-tique phase, as you may have noticed from recent posts.  This painting is especially experimental, with the unusual lower mountains.  Challenging to paint, I'll say, but I am enjoying the final result.  What do you think?

"Moonrise" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas


 Several months ago I was contacted by a woman who had located my artworks on-line.  She had looked for some time for an artist to fulfill her vision of a moon rising over mountains and she found me!  Well, to be honest, I was a bit skeptical, as she informed me that she didn't want a lot of color in this painting.  I wasn't sure I could go without a lot of color, as that is sort of my trademark, but I thought about it and decided to stretch my boundaries.  We stayed in touch and gradually worked through quite the process, as it was also the largest painting I have done.  It was thrilling to have this experience and you might have noticed, if you read my blogs, that I am still in the throes of being obsessed by moons rising over the horizon!  Thank you, Deborah, this has been such a worthwhile and fun effort!
