"Mountain Forecast" by Karla Nolan palette knife oil painting on canvas







Inspired by looking out my northern Colorado windows!  This is what has been happening all day, snow, snow, and more snow on the way.  I guess it's winter!

"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!

"Golden Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel




Another in my "Lunar"tique series, this is the golden moon we see in our Rocky Mountain skies on occasion.  Of course, no two moonrises are the same and we are due for a full moon this weekend.  Perhaps it will look something like this painting!

"Lady Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting


Another painting in my "Lunar" Series, this has a more feminine quality to it, hence the name "Lady Moon".  I'm experimenting with different colors and palette knife styles, in addition to playing with various media to hasten drying or remove paint.  Isn't life just one big experiment, in some sense?  Not to get too heavy here....

"My Very Own Moonrise" by Karla Nolan, gallery wrapped oil painting


Well, it has been quite the summer, most unusual.  I'll spare you the details.  I have returned to painting finally and am writing my first blog since late May.  

A client contacted me a number of months ago to ask if I would paint a three foot by four foot moonrise painting.  I was astonished, as I have never painted such a large work, but gathered steam and enthusiasm and completed the chore at hand with great delight.  It was a wonderful experience stepping out of my comfort zone, as much of the painting was different hues and toes of grays.  I'm the color lady, normally!  Suffice it to say, I learned a lot!  I'll be posting a jpeg of that painting soon. (This is the first of the "Lunar Series" I'm showing.)

I was so happy with the result that my husband and I decided that we needed a moonrise painting, also.  It's been quite a while since I attempted anything for our own house, but here is the result.  I'm happy!  No, it's not for sale.  Sorry!

"Embers Sunset" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting


Okay, I'll admit it, I have never seen this scene!  I have quite the imagination, huh?  I can just envision a volcanic exploding over a mountain range, although it's a scary thought, I'll admit.  Always having fun with the paints.
