"First View of the Grand Tetons" by Karla Nolan, framed glass painting


ALERT: You are about to view art of a different nature. These are paintings on glass -- that is, painted directly onto glass with specially formulated glass paints. They are always framed for the protection of the glass. The paints often are transparent and sometimes opaque, giving a stained glass appearance under good light. They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs do not do them justice -- my colors are very vibrant. Close ups are available, just e-mail me for information (see below). In most instances, click on the actual image for an even larger image to view -- you'll see lots of different items such as marbelization, transparent or opaque parts of the work -- try it and see! Commissions are accepted.

My last post was about the yellow water lilies in Yellowstone National Park. This one is about the first experience I had seeing the Grand Tetons. And grand they are, indeed! Now I'm used to seeing some big time mountains, living next door to the Rockies, and I've seen Ansel Adams' photos of the Tetons. But, honestly, I was so impressed to see them in person. Absolutely incredible and, dare I say, awesome! (I never use that word!) They are intimidating in a most majestic manner and I would urge anyone who is reading this post to go and see them.
