"Fancy Dance" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink

Okay, I'll be up front.  I do not plan to sell this painting.  It was extremely time consuming to paint, full of detail, which is not my usual modus operandus.  I went to the Northern Colorado Pow Wow a couple of weeks ago with my husband and then with my young granddaughter.  I love a pow wow.  The color, the spirit, the dancing, the drumming, nothing is quite like it.  So I attempted to capture a second of the fancy dance, I was diligent in my effort, and I am so happy with it!  Yaay!  

"Windswept Indian Paintbrush" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Oops, at it again, I guess, that painting on glass and all!  This is my take on the famous Indian Paintbrush flowers, a flowering plant indigenous to the western U.S., always a delight to see blooming alongside the road, on hikes, climbing up a mountain....I've seen them recently in Colorado and Wyoming and they occur in varying colors, primarily red but sometimes with an orange hue.
