"Seaside Moon" by Karla Nolan, 8"x10" palette knife oil painting



Many moons ago (no pun intended!), I visited my dear friend Missy in Newport, Rhode Island.  We went to a golf club for dinner that had quite the view, very reflective as the sun descended over the water.  This is my attempt to capture a sliver of time during that sundown.  I like it.  I hope you do, also.  By the way, I do not play golf, have no ambition to do so, as I know how my right arm would hate me, it already does from painting!

"Sand and Surf at Second Beach (RI)" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting



I have a dear friend who lives in Middletown, Rhode Island, right next to Newport.  She is so fortunate to have a house right around the corner from this particular beach, "Second Beach".  Am I envious?  You bet I am!  Every day she can go to the beach and listen to the pounding surf, view the changing skies, the ebb and flow of the waters.  There are fewer experiences more soothing than the sound and feel of the ocean.  I think I'm due for another visit!

Thanks for viewing my art!  Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado

"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!
