"Maui Beach: Surf and Clouds" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting


My husband and I traveled to Hawaii some years ago and stayed on the island of Maui.  There is just nothing in the world more soothing to me than the pounding of the ocean as the waves crash heading to the shore.  When I painted this miniature, my travel memories kicked in and there I was, lying on the beach once again, blissed out by the incredible sounds.  Ah, gotta love the ocean!  (I am, of course, landlocked in my own paradise, but painting revives the good memories...)

"Ocean Waves" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass





The ocean never fails to fascinate me.  Being landlocked in Colorado, but happily so, I especially like looking at the waves breaking and the skies overhead.  It can be turmoil to paint, but, hey, why not give it a try, onto glass, no less!

"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!

"SURF," daily painter ocean wave © Carol Nelson Fine Art


This is a wave I caught with my camera off Polihale beach on the western coast of Kauai. This beach is the farthest to the west of any beach in the United States. A seemingly endless stretch of dunes and surf, we only saw two other people as far as we could see.
We didn't venture beyond our ankles into the water because of the signs posted about fierce currents and undertows. Still, for land-locked Coloradans, it was a thrill to just sit and watch the power of the ocean.
This 12x12 original oil painting on gallery wrap canvas is available for $200, including a black canvas floater frame and shipping in the US/Canada. Click here for purchase information.
