"Looking From Estes Park Towards Rocky Mountains National Park" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting

Colorado is a state with many altitudes -- the eastern plains runs long and flat, high prairie, gradually climbing to the Mile High City and environs.  Denver is almost exactly a mile above sea level and one can tell this with the thinner air both in breathing in the oxygen and sunning -- you'll have a harder time with the breathing aspect and you'll burn to a crisp much more quickly!  We live right next to the foothills in Fort Collins, just over an hour north of Denver.  Driving up the Big Thompson Canyon to Estes Park, you'll see the fields, meadows and foliage before the great mountain peaks of Rocky Mountain National Park.  This is my (oil painting) take on it.  And there's a lot more to Colorado than just mountains.  More on that later.

"Walk Into the Poppy Fields" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

I usually don't paint large artworks.  They take forever and try my patience.  However, I do want to paint large paintings more frequently.  Finding the right subject matter can be difficult and planning the whole scene just as trying.  However, I have worked on this painting off and on over a couple of years and am finally reasonably satisfied.  Who doesn't enjoy a walk into an Italian poppy field in Tuscany?

"Saturday Afternoon From the Deck" by Kate Dardine

I painted this 8x10 oil on canvas while sitting on my deck, looking south over my alfalfa field. It was a pretty hot and humid day (for Colorado!), mid-afternoon with clouds building over the mountains to the west. Although I don't get a chance to do it very often, I love the experience of painting out doors (even if gnats do stick to the wet paint!) This beautiful little piece of Colorado country can be yours for only $79 (including shipping in the US), unframed on canvas panel.
