"My Iris" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
Okay, I'm jumping the gun on spring, I admit it. In fact,
it is snowing again as I type, heading into April. The green foliage
has emerged from the ground but the iris buds are not ready to peek out yet. I'm more than ready to see this iris plant once more. Enough with the snow!

"Santa Fe Doors: Arch Over Blue", matted watercolor and ink painting by Karla Nolan
Another
in my Santa Fe doors series. Painting these doors have had me wanting
to visit this charming city once again but with the early winter snows, I
think I'll wait until it warms up a bit! I believe that Santa Fe's
altitude is even higher than ours is in Fort Collins! It can get
bitterly cold even though it's about seven hours south of us! Go
figure...

"Blue Mountain Water Falls", original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan
Water
is so difficult to paint, in my opinion. I inadvertently started
painting a waterfall while playing with watercolors. I did not mean to
start this, but, what the heck, why not proceed? I rather like it --- I
don't know if there are mountains named "Blue Mountain" here in
Colorado, but there is one now -- on paper, anyway!

"Blues Skies", 36"x36" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
Well,
this is a biggie -- 3 feet by 3 feet, painted primarily in blue hues.
Hence, the name. The clouds in Colorado are so beautiful, so numerous
with the varying shades of the blues in the background, they light up
everything! Ready to hang, no need to frame unless you want to.

"The Arches of Utah Beckon" by Karla Nola, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
I
love the red earth and blue skies of the West. The U.S has so many
varied regions in it but the wide open skies and the ruddy orange and
vermillion tones of Terra Firma speak to my memories. I hope we go
back to Utah soon and see the Arches, Capitol Reef, Zion and so
on................

"Busy Night Skies" by Karla Nolan, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
My
take on painting in any medium is this: have fun! Don't take yourself
too seriously. Experiment. Try not to stress (good luck with
that!)..
"Busy
Night Skies" is my interpretation in palette knife oils of what any given
moment in the skies -- moon shimmering through the clouds, possible
lightning strikes occurring, clouds rolling in, satellites blipping over
the landscape. And of course it all occurs over my beloved Rocky
Mountains! I had fun!

Yes,
I am at it again, another night sky scene. There is always so much
happening in those dark skies, the moon shining, the stars shooting, the
hint of a possible storm. I am most intrigued, as I hope you are,
also, by the mystery of the night!

"Blue Moon" by Karla Nolan, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting
I
noticed the other night that we had a full moon. It was just before
our snowstorm struck, yet again delaying Spring. Weather is rarely dull
here in Colorado;
wait 20 minutes, it'll change. Then I started thinking about the "blue
moon" -- two full moons in one month. I have no idea if this is the
month for such an occurrence but I am enraptured with painting
moonscapes. They are just so much fun! Here's one for you....

"Inspired by the Hydrangeas of Wales" by Karla Nolan, 11"x14" unframed palette knife oil painting
Yes, I AM part Welsh! My mother's family came from a tiny town near Aberystwyth, a university town, and my husband, two daughters and I have been to visit our distant relatives, one time meeting my father there, also, he loved the Welsh relatives...with good reason. Whilst there (don't I sound fancy!), I had the pleasure of viewing many beautifully hued hydrangeas blooming in a garden in Tenby, in the month of July, no less. It was much cooler than we had anticipated, the weather was much like that of Scotland, cool, misty, foggy, and green, with a great deal of sheep and lambs about.. I loved it! And my relatives there are wonderful, I hope we do get to see them again. (I am also Jewish, so you can imagine how difficult life is with the native languages, Hebrew and Welsh, virtually impossible for me to learn either. Oh well.)

"Ode to the Glass Menagerie I" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass
Do you recall reading "The Glass Menagerie" by Tennessee Williams in high school? I do and I was taken with the imagery he presented when the main character had pleurisy -- she call it "blue roses". That phrase has always remained with me, it was so novel then and still is now. I know that there are many different blue flowers, even a blue poppy, but I have yet to see a true blue rose! This is my ode to his phrasing.

"Sand and Surf at Second Beach (RI)" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
I
have a dear friend who lives in Middletown, Rhode Island, right next to
Newport. She is so fortunate to have a house right around the corner
from this particular beach, "Second Beach". Am I envious? You bet I
am! Every day she can go to the beach and listen to the pounding surf,
view the changing skies, the ebb and flow of the waters. There are
fewer experiences more soothing than the sound and feel of the ocean. I
think I'm due for another visit!
