"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!

"Sunset Gold" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting



Ah, more watercolor experimentation with the skies, the sunsets in particular.  Don't all sunsets have a bit of magic in them?  They shift so quickly, sometimes they are breathtaking, literally!  November happens to be my favorite month to observe them, just before starting dinner, closing out another day.  (The lower picture is a close up view.)

"Delicate Arch, Utah" by Karla Nolan, watercolor painting matted to 8"x10"




There are many arches in The Arches National Monument outside of Moab, Utah, but this maybe the most famous.  Cliffs, arches, trails abound.  Bright blue skies overhead, red rocks, earth below, as well as ochres, yellows, golds, oranges.. It's a bit like a different planet and, of course, well worth the visit.  Amazing what Mama Nature does!

"Edge of Red" mixed media abstracted tree painting by Colorado Contemporary Artist Carol Nelson

Edge of Red, 24x56 inch diptych

I know I just posted this a few days ago, but in this view, the two canvases are reversed, with the 24x36 on the left, and the 24x20 on the right.  I think I like it better this way.

Oh, and I added one more tree - can you find it?

"October Bouquet," Julie Kirkland

"October Bouquet", 6 x 8 in. oil,  $125

Fall is undeniably in the air and I'm looking forward to the autumn colors and the pleasure I get painting outdoors in the September and October.   The leaves aren't turning yet, so I'm looking through some of the magnificent photos that I took last year, and am painting some of my favorites.  Not only does it satisfy my urge to paint in an autumn pallete, it also makes the fall season seem longer!  "October Bouquet" is framed in a beautiful gold, 3' wide plein air frame.  Tax and shipping apply depending on your location.
