"Moonlight Mountain Triptych" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Quite a task, this painting on glass.  It took forever to compose and then execute but I'm very satisfied, happy, with the results.  The photos don't do it just but then this is the sort of artwork best seen in person, I guess.

"Snow Trees at Night", palette knife oil painting

Okay, it's winter here in my sweet Colorado, it's really cold here and there are two or three feet of snow or more in the nearby foothills.  What does this look like at night, pitch black, maybe just a hint of moonlight?  I don't honestly depict Nature as it actually is, I'd be a photographer if I did that, but this is my creative imagination at work....looks sort of inviting if you have warm clothing, huh?

"Mystery", UNFRAMED miniature palette knife oil painting on linen panel

I'll need you to use your imagination a bit here -- you can see the actual unframed painting of night skies, "Mystery", at the top of this blog and then an example of a framed painting with the same painting.  Please pretend that the matting is a linen mat -- I didn't have one the correct size on hand -- and you can see how a miniature painting can increase to more of a presence.  

We are so close to winter now, the darkness arrives so early, what really is in the sky above?  It's just a mystery to me!

"Autumn Leaf Storm" unframed miniature palette knife oil painting

Well, it appears that the weather has been influencing my art work as of late...  About a week ago the wind just howled at night, the autumn leaves were furiously dropping from trees, and then the thunderstorm hit!  Our honey locust tree ash has grown tremendously since we moved into this house and it was slamming into the siding, keeping me awake much of the night.  Naturally, I thought I should definitely "document" the event.

"Zapping Through the Nighttime Sky", palette knife oil painting

 Living in Colorado is a meteorological adventure, a weather puzzle.  As you must know, we have had "biblical", monumental flooding recently, plus wildfires not only this year but last year.  In 1997, a friend of ours had to swim for her life, along with her young son.  It simply is never dull around here!  

Earlier in the spring, we seemed to be having a lot of thunderstorms, complete with incredible lightning, of course.  I started mulling this over -- what if I try to paint the sky when it's uproarious, zipping with electricity, zapping toward the earth.  This is the first in a series of fun:  lightning storms painted with palette knife and oil.  They are a creative and artistic effort to convey emotion, not a literal one, my imagination was involved here, not necessarily realism.  I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed painting them!  What a blast!

"The Vastness of Where My Loved Ones Are", palette knife oil painting

Another nocturnal painting.  This one is in honor and memory of my loved ones, be they relative or friends -- when I go outside at night here in the northern part of Colorado, I often see many, many stars, all shades of pink, white, yellow, even lavender, and they are twinkling and winking at me -- I know that my loved ones, whom I miss so much, are there in the night.
