"Purple Pansies Portrait", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen pan

I just love pansies.  I always have, always will.  Years ago I owned a pressed and dried flower business -- I planted, picked, pressed/dried flowers and made them into pieces of art.  Pansies were among my favorite flowers to use.  Purple pansies rock!

"Ladybugs on Yucca Flowers", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush oil painting on linen panel

Okay, I'm going to toot my horn on this particular painting, as I am extremely proud of it.  I wanted to go a more simple route with lighter colors and still have an impact.  Painting a light wash in oil first, then gradually adding the buds and flowers of the yucca bush, and layering on several ladybugs did the trick for me.  I hope you like it as much as I do!  And....yes, it's a great price, a great deal!  So there!!!

"Mesa Verde: Panaromic View", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting on gessoed panel

Long a favorite place to visit, down in the southwestern corner of Colorado, Mesa Verde is almost hidden upon first approach.  It has cliff dwellings nestled into an opening which you can walk through, climb up ladders, peer down into kivas -- all sorts of interesting opportunities to explored the now defunct Anasazi civilization dwellings.  I'd highly recommend visiting there.  Possibly this is needless to say, but it certainly was a challenge to paint!

"Solo Act: Red Indian Paintbrush", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting on gessoed panel

I've been ill with a sinus infection this last week or so -- miserably ill.  I know, being sick is the body's way of saying "slow down" -- and I saw "whatever!"  That said, here is the gift to myself, a fun and favorite flower of mine to paint, the Indian paintbrush which grows wild in the West and Southwest parts of the U.S.  A big "cheer me up" to myself!

"Shoreline Sunset", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, oil painting, linen panel

 It's snowing here in Colorado.  Again.  Just when we had a strong whiff of spring, here comes the white stuff falling from the sky.  Go figure.  I am so over winter and yet it's been a relatively mild one here so I know that I have no business complaining.  


It seems to be more fruitful to remember the hot summer nights with the beautiful sunsets along the shoreline....yes, past tense for now, but hopefully more shoreline sunsets await me.
