"Southwest Panorama in Reds" by Karla Nolan, watercolor on paper

There is something about the colors of the cliffs, hills, mesas, and mountains in the Southwest United States that is so intriguing to me.  There is no one shade of red involved, instead there are underlying purples, oranges, yellows, browns.  Usually there is a bright blue sky with incoming storms fully in view when observing the clouds.  I love it here in Colorado and also seeing the view in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

"Gold in Those Red Hills", original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan

A little more experimentation on the old watercolor paper!  I really enjoyed painting this one -- "gold in them thar hills" sounds a bit tacky but -- it just reminded me so much of the southwestern part of the U.S., part Colorado, Utah, Arizona and so on.  You just never know what lies in the red rocks, hills, cliffs, with the turquoise skies overhead.  To me these are the quintessential Western colors of our terrain out here.  Happy, happy!
