"Solo" by Karla Nolan, unframed oil pastel painting

I don't know if you've noticed but SPRING IS HERE!  Hooray!  That means iris and I really like iris.  So does my husband, we have them planted all over the garden.  This is my second oil pastel painting and I'm pleased with how it turned out, although there is so much to learn in this medium.  Whew!  Art means never stop learning..............that doesn't sound right, but you get the idea, right?

"Another Look at Red Mountain" by Karla Nolan, unframed oil pastel painting

My first attempt at painting with oil pastels.  A repeat subject.  Red Mountain the southwestern part of the state of Colorado.  I painted with soft pastels for years and occasionally yearn to return to them.  However, oil pastels beckoned because we were going on vacation and they were easier to haul.  Yet another experiment for me.  And since I am crazy over this particular subject, it was a fun and very educational experience.  I just love Colorado!
