"Solo" by Karla Nolan, unframed oil pastel painting

I don't know if you've noticed but SPRING IS HERE!  Hooray!  That means iris and I really like iris.  So does my husband, we have them planted all over the garden.  This is my second oil pastel painting and I'm pleased with how it turned out, although there is so much to learn in this medium.  Whew!  Art means never stop learning..............that doesn't sound right, but you get the idea, right?

"Wisteria in Shadow" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting, france, flower, purple

This flowering vine is so intriguing to me.  My home state of Colorado is too cold to grow it successfully, but I have seen it in bloom in Rhode Island, California, France, and Italy and am mesmerized by it.  The purple shades of the flower are almost white, then lilac, then lavender, the petals dripping down the multicolored green leaves, with heavy shadows and then punctuated with sun facing, almost lime hued leaves giving a stark contrast to the shaded areas of the vine.  This is a miniature painting which, if matted with linen and framed with darker tones, becomes more of at statement, a "bigger" painting -- or just simply put the unframed artwork on a small wood or metal easel, it'll fit in anywhere!

"Forest Wonders 2" mixed media tree painting by Carol Nelson

Forest Wonders 2

I did this painting as a demo for a student who is visiting from California for private lessons.  I'm not usually a fan of the color pink, but I think it works in this painting.
