"Just Sailing Along" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

We have just returned from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and please keep in mind, I am not used to seeing so much water around us!  We are happily landlocked in northern Colorado but being near the H2O is quite refreshing and enjoyed our time there.  I painted this painting on glass some time ago and thought I'd show it to you here, in honor of all the blues that we saw while on vacation!  Best seen in person, of course, as are most paintings on glass.

"Moonlight Mountain Triptych" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Quite a task, this painting on glass.  It took forever to compose and then execute but I'm very satisfied, happy, with the results.  The photos don't do it just but then this is the sort of artwork best seen in person, I guess.

"Peach Iris Duo" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

The neighbors across the street have the most magnificent peach irises, I was inspired to paint them onto glass, surround them blue skies and green leaves.  I'm happy with the results, are you?

"Mysterious Rocky Mountain Sunset" by Karla Nolan framed painting on glass

Well, this is a mysterious art post!  I haven't quite decided what exactly is occurring in the sky of this painting on glass, so decided to "go with the flow, the mystery of it all".  I see many things happening in this sunset and I hope that you do, also.  I see no sense in defining everything that happens with these crazy glass paints!

"Poppies and Hills" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Yes, here are more poppies, but these are painted directly onto the glass and the framing technique I use gives them dimensional aspects not usually seen in paintings on canvas.  These actually look three dimensional from some angles.  Always playing around with the glass paints and having a blast doing so!

"Ocean Waves" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

The ocean never fails to fascinate me.  Being landlocked in Colorado, but happily so, I especially like looking at the waves breaking and the skies overhead.  It can be turmoil to paint, but, hey, why not give it a try, onto glass, no less!

"Wild Red Flowers" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

I haven't painted in almost three weeks now, due to a nasty fall down some wooden stairs.  I still have a very swollen jammed finger on my right hand and it's slowed me down mightily, even in typing.  So no blogs, either.  I've been getting restless, so thought this painting would fill in the gap for now.  Hope you enjoy the view!

"Magenta in the Sky" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Vibrant colors in the sky for this miniature painting on glass, sold framed as shown!  Magenta was the "in" color when I lived outside of St. Louis in the 1960's, I remember that as if it were yesterday.  I convinced my mother to buy me an "outfit" in that bright, hot color, but I felt conspicuous in it, as it was a new hue for me.  I mainly lived in red.  It doesn't seem that long ago to me, I know that decades have past, but I still like the magenta tones in the skies when I see them!

"Red Sunset in Winter" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

I've resumed painting on glass and present you with my version of a snowy evening with a vivid sunset!  This sort of art can be trying to produce, there are always the unexpected color mixes, problems with tools, spills, and, of course, impatience!  I must say that I do enjoy the results, however, if not always the process!

"Yellow Water Lilies in Yellowstone National Park" by Karla Nolan, 11"x14" framed painting on glass

Well, this is kind of different, isn't it?  We were in Yellowstone a number of years ago, just driving along, looking at all the marvelous sights when I saw something that just didn't quite seem to fit in with what I expected to see in Wyoming.  Hawaii, yes, Wyoming, no.  Water lilies were in bloom in water near the road -- I got out of the car, went over, looked at almost black water, and there they were, floating on the pads, in that water.  I was amazed, and bright yellow, to boot!  We have been back to Yellowstone National Park since then, drove to the same spot, and, voila, they weren't anywhere to found.  Another amazing nature story from the mysterious planet called Earth!

"Winning Threesome" by Karla Nolan, 10"x8" framed painting on glass

It has been quite a while since I've posted any paintings on glass, so here is one for you to take in.  I've been concentrating on palette knife oil paintings lately but still enjoy the look of the glass works.  This particular piece comes framed up, the bottom photo is a close up of the poppies.

A Different Kind Of Canvas - Paintings by Colorado Artist Mary Arneson

The last couple of weeks I've been so busy completing glass painting orders and taking care of one of our little Pomeranian dogs. I haven't had a chance to even touch a paintbrush to a traditional canvas. Here's hoping all that can change in the next couple of days!

Whatever my canvas, if I'm painting, I'm happy!!!

"Rhode Island Sail", by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

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.

Egads, she's back to the paintings on glass!  Indeed, I am!  It's been a bit since I've had the opportunity to paint onto glass, but I'm happy to have returned to it.  Travel, family, other considerations have taken over my glass painting activities, but now that I have yet another new blogspot and website highlighting my paintings on glass (which I hope you will view!), I'm going to try and work out a palette knife oil painting schedule that is compatible with the glass painting schedule.  What can I say, wish me luck!  There are definite pros and cons to my paintings on glass --they are a different type of art, not completely appreciable on a computer monitor -- best in person, naturally!  However, bear with me, please, as I try very hard to produce high quality photographs of what I paint.  (First photo is full painting, second, close up)

I have also set up a second website, www.PaintingsOnGlass.com, 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.

Thanks for looking!
