"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.

"Sunset Sail" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting


Another sunset, this with a sailboat and a different ocean -- the Pacific!  I'll take any ocean or bay or river, as long as I can look up at the skies and see the ever changing clouds.  Throw in a boat, and, wow, what great painting material!

"Seattle Sunset Sail" by Karla Nolan, unframed 4"x6" miniature palette knife oil painting



Another take on Seattle, this time at dusk with the sailboats out on the water.  I guess I could easily drive up the road to Horsetooth Reservoir this summer and see a similar sight, however it certainly wouldn't be near the ocean, would it?  We are basically landlocked here.  That's okay, it gives me a good excuse to travel to the ocean once in a while, and I really do appreciate those opportunities.  Doesn't it look like fun out there?

"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!
