"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?

"Purple Mountains, Amber Waves", original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan
I
have always loved the song, "America, The Beautiful" and thought it
might be an appropriate gesture for this special week, Thanksgiving and
all, to salute this wonderful country in which we live. I believe that
the song was inspired by Pike's Peak here in Colorado and written by
Katharine Lee Bates in 1893.

Three Zinnias, original small oil painting by artist Susan Spohn
3 Zinnias, oil, 6x6
I planted a wild mix of zinnia colors this year. Their petals appeared a solid color, but when in the sun they turned to additional orange, yellow and blue tints. This small oil is available on my ETSY site. Visit my website to view more paintings. SpohnStudio.com

"Cheyenne Spirit Echinacea (Coneflower)" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting
.JPG)
This is a simple painting -- there are a number of colors in the petals of this particular type of coneflower (Latin name: echinacea) and I wanted the focus to be on the flower itself. You might know of this plant for its alleged herbal effects, an immune system booster, used for centuries in naturopathy It also grows well where we live and, I believe, this may be a hybrid of the traditional purple flower that is so well known. There is a bit more color here, with more reds and oranges merging into the long petals.

"Peppy Pansies" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting matted to 8"x10"
Just less than a week until autumn officially begins. Hard to believe, this summer has flown by! The pansies will thrive for a little while longer, thankfully. These were not the easiest to paint, the colors varied so much in the petals. They are a fine reminder of warm weather, I believe.

"Italian Wisteria" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
I
believe we were in Lucca, a walled city in Italy, when I noticed the
wisteria you see in the painting. The trunks are all twisted, the
purples range from almost pure white to the darkest hues, in the shade.
All feels so old to me, although the building behind the fence and
floral scene looks almost modern, doesn't it? I love Italy.

"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!

Fun Color and Texture in 'Over Stuffed Bouquet'
Over-Stuffed Bouquet
30 x 30
Original Oil Painting
This photo does not do the painting justice... but it will have to do for now. My camera is on the fritz. The colors jump off the painting and there is a fun energy about this bouquet. How many times do we keep adding 'just one more flower' to fill a vase? Anyway, this is one of those occasions. View more about this painting on my website: SpohnStudio.com

“!Marimba!”
8x10”
Original Pastel Painting by Colorado Artist Margretta S. Perry
$150.00+

These
children were amazing! They were playing the marimba so well, I could hardly
believe they were such young children. I would guess about 7 & 8 years old
perhaps…and standing on a bench so they could reach. The sun and shade was
lovely and a nice backdrop for the musicians. This photo was taken in Cabo San
Lucas a couple of years ago.
I used
Wallis sanded paper as the ground and a mix of soft pastels. This painting is framed,
ready for hanging on a small wall or in a larger grouping.

SOLD
My first painting, a 7 x 7 inch size entitled Alley Garden sold right
away. Since then several others have wished it was theirs! And one
customer ordered a similar piece. This painting has an airier feeling to
it, which I am liking a lot. Good to be back in the studio again today!
