"Just Sailing Along" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

We have just returned from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and please keep in mind, I am not used to seeing so much water around us! We are happily landlocked in northern Colorado but being near the H2O is quite refreshing and enjoyed our time there. I painted this painting on glass some time ago and thought I'd show it to you here, in honor of all the blues that we saw while on vacation! Best seen in person, of course, as are most paintings on glass.

"Just Sailing Along", 10.25"x17.5" measured edge to edge glass, framed as shown, write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information

"Sunset Sail" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting

Another sunset, this with a sailboat and a different ocean -- the Pacific! I'll take any ocean or bay or river, as long as I can look up at the skies and see the ever changing clouds. Throw in a boat, and, wow, what great painting material!

"Sailing at Sunset II", palette knife oil painting by Karla Nolan

Years ago my younger daughter and I visited Seattle, Washington -- so much water! You must remember we live in northern Colorado and are hardly surrounded by the H2O! I loved the sunsets we saw, the colors from the skies bouncing off the water -- and the sailboats -- well, that's just not that common a sight in my life (having said that, we do live near Horsetooth Reservoir, so I guess I could make more of a point to see sailboats, but I get seasick!) So, this is an ode to the Northwest part of our country.

"Solo Sail on Lake Como (Italy)"

Have you ever heard of "The Three Tenors"? Of course you have! Well, the other day I was hauling up recently painted canvases to put on the mantel over the fireplace so I could get a different view of them. It occurred to me then -- I am frequently painting one of "The Three 'I's" -- Israel, Ireland, or Italy! Go figure, these wonderful lands all start with the same initial, I find humor in that....

So....this a one view of Lake Como -- it is so beautiful in this part of Italy, the water just invites you to take a ride on it. We took the ferry from town to town and I made use of my point and shoot camera for reference photos. I specifically use a point and shoot, not an elaborate or expensive camera, so I can play the giant editor, just want to make sure I'm close to the geography or the play of the light in the sky, in the water. From Italy to you, I bring you a short sail on the waters of Lago di Como! Ciao!

"Solo Sail on Lake Como (Italy)", 12"x16" unframed palette knife and brush oil painting on canvas, $385 plus s/h to be determined at time of sale, Paypal button (click below) or write me for more info at KarlaNolan@gmail.com
