"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland II"

I received an inquiry from a young lady recently -- she had seen my artwork on-line and liked it (which, of course, I do encourage -- viewing and liking!). Her grandmother had passed away and left some palette knife oil paintings which she liked, as did her sister. So, I was commissioned by her to recreate a 12"x16" palette knife oil painting, sizing it down to an 8"x10" artwork. The smaller one would be more affordable, of course, and a standard size is easy to frame. You can see the end result above -- I e-mailed her a photo of the finished work, she was pleased, and now this piece of art is on its way to her sister! Yaay!

Commissions can be a challenge to create -- the client and the artist need to stay in touch -- but are also a fun challenge and painting a different size image from the originally view piece of art is like reliving a couple of memories -- reviewing the flower, landscape, skies, whatever the subject may be and then reliving the original act of painting again, but to a different scale. I recommend it!

"Kauai: From Queen's Bath Looking at the Pacific Ocean", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

If you have ever visited Kauai, perhaps you've hiked down to Queen's Bath, a pool hidden away in a tranquil spot, very close to the Pacific Ocean. This serene pool is fed by the ocean, is embedded with rocks, and frankly, is quite romantic! At least I felt it was....looking out towards the ocean was marvelous and the entire experience has never left my mind. What a joy!

"Kauai: From Queen's Bath Looking at the Pacific Ocean", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $215, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale. Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice. Thanks for looking!

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

"Cliffs at Dingle, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board

A bit more island hopping, from Hawaii to Ireland...I know that I'm repeating myself here, I'm prone to doing that, but there are hundreds of shades of the color green in Ireland! Even in the ocean! These cliffs were precipitous -- you don't want to lose your footing here -- but they were also so glorious -- did I catch them correctly with my painting? I certainly hope so!
