Palette Knife Painters, International

http://www.KarlaNolan.com

Clear Skies Sunflower was my afternoon class demonstration in Melbourne, Florida, making its debut in Flower Mound Studio today. This evening I finished work on a 48X24 Cherry Blossom Path based on the flowers of the Dallas Arboretum, and I posted the painting on my blog today. I'm looking forward to seeing all of these colors in bloom again next spring during the Dallas Blooms Festival, I'll be setting up for a plein air day and sure hope my painty pals will join me. Stay tuned to the art blog for details to come! My November 9 Dallas Arboretum class is full, but I still have seats open in my 3 day workshops in North Texas in the next few weeks. Put a little joy in your brush and let's make brilliant color bloom!

"Lightning Over City Lights" by Karla Nolan, miniature, lightning, twilight, night scene

Here is another entry into my weather or lightning series. We live near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains here in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the weather can be quite entertaining! As I drive west towards the mountains at twilight and at nighttime, the flickering lights up on the hills overlooking Horsetooth Reservoir to the west and looking out at the Great Plains to the east grab my attention. Add in some lightning and, man, you have got a show!

Karla Nolan

"Life is an onion and one peels it crying."--French proverb Escapism. Defying time. Serenity and solace. Reliving treasured moments...the reasons I paint and make artwork. The creative acts are surely the most pleasant and yet difficult of all. Color and form are special friends. The challenge of perfecting artwork is monumental and exhilarating. This effort has grown to be both friend and family, which are the two most important aspects of my life. Judaica is my most challenging art...Hebrew and I don't always get along! I'm mainly self-taught in art, relying on intuition, experimentation, benefiting from studying books, visiting museums, galleries and learning painting techniques from other artist friends/relatives. I've studied pastels with Clive Tyler, taken oils with Daniel Edmondson. My newest medium is painting on glass, inspired by an Italian master, bringing this art technique home and applying my own topics. My oils are mainly with palette knife. This art style might be called "abstract realism", an oxymoron in its own right. Favorite contemporary artists include Cruciani, L Horowitz, Berberian, S Stork, C Tyler, D Edmondson. "Life is short, use color!"

Heart Haven Pink Roses and a North Texas Workshop by Floral Artist Nancy Medina

Heart Haven Pink Rose is the new daily painting in Flower Mound Studio, a small study for a private lesson earlier last week. I'm starting work on a set of hydrangea commissions for a beautiful North Texas home this week, and packing for a 3 day workshop in Irving, Texas. I can hardly wait to see what fresh flowers will be available when it's time to shop for class! Such a highlight of this new job, having to go out and buy all my favorite flowers, paint them, share my love of painting with others, and then have a house filled with blossoms for weeks afterward. I love my job!

Day 5, Lake Como - Afternoon location: Bellagio
CINQUE TERRE / LAKE COMO ART TREK

Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

After lunch, we rode the ferry to the famous town of Bellagio. Most folks chose to take the afternoon off from painting and shooting, and instead stroll the colorful town and do some shopping. Scott and I offered to take all the gear, and we snagged a bench to relax along the town's promenade. The location was beautiful with the pastel hued buildings set against the mountain backdrop and azure water in the foreground. Working with palette knife and thick paint, I quickly sketched in the scene before we caught the last ferry back to Varenna.

We finished the day with another amazing meal and new found friends!

If you'd like to join us in Cinque Terre / Lake Como for our next Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop Sept. 12th-21st, please let me know. The workshop is already half full and a final registration deadline of this Saturday is quickly approaching, so sign up soon! For more details, e-mail Niki Gulley or go to nikigulley.com/artreks.

Niki Gulley

Niki Gulley’s passion for painting began in grade school when she had to draw something as mundane as shoes for art class, and loved every minute of it. Her parents enrolled her in private lessons and she was hooked. Following her childhood in Chicago, Niki relocated to Dallas to pursue an art major at SMU. Since she disliked the freezing Illinois winters, Dallas seemed like the place to stay after graduating. Next, Gulley entered the world of advertising, working as art director for a local magazine. After a few years passed, Niki felt like something was missing. So she started painting again every free moment. This is what she had been missing and she began to feel fulfilled again. It is from this feeling of true joy that Niki translates onto canvas. She seeks to capture the beauty of our landscape, utilizing vivid colors in oil paint and pastels to convey a particular mood. Gulley invites you to reconnect with nature and escape day-to-day responsibilities along with her in these creations.

Karen Balon Art

Karen is an intuitive artist with an innate connection to the universe. Turning mediative visions into mesmerizing paintings. Using only a palette knife and bold colors Karen’s painting are intended to draw you in and caressing you like a lover. Sensual and tantalizing, whimsical and teasing, with curves that ebb and flow. Her pieces have been described as cosmic, relaxing yet full of energy, intuitive, erotic, fantasy, peaceful, organic and come from deep within her. You can feel her interconnectedness to the universe, she captivates you with her use of emotion, color and swirling tendrils that are a big part of her and her artwork. Karen’s goal is for the viewer to find their own unique interpretation in her paintings. To let the imagination run free for a while and connect with their inner most feelings.

Day 5, Lake Como: Villa Balbianello
CINQUE TERRE / LAKE COMO ART TREK

Plein Air Painting and Photography Workshop with Niki Gulley and Scott Williams

On the fifth day of our Cinque Terre / Lake Como Art Trek, we awoke to a gorgeous morning. We rode the ferry to Lenno, and then arrived in style by private water taxi at the beautiful, lush Villa Balbianello. Perched on a cliff overlooking the lake, the manor and tropical gardens are immaculately maintained and exquisite. While difficult to figure out how to capture that beauty on film or canvas, we were up for the challenge and loved every minute of the idyllic setting.

"Dusk Near Lake Como, Italy" by Karla Nolan

We have had the good fortune to visit Italy in the last several years and this was the first time I had been so far north. Previously I'd been to Tuscany and Umbria. Fiametta and Piero were our bed and breakfast hosts and we were most spoiled by their breakfasts, the view from their terrace and garden, and of course, their delightful company. The nearby ferries ran regularly to other towns, including Bellagio, so rather than drive all the way around the immense lake, we could just sort of hop around on the water! It was an amazing trip, we found a favorite pizza place just down the hill and at dusk the water simply glowed with reflection. Viva Italia!

"Romy" Original Oil Palette Knife Painting by Hallie Kohn Art

This painting was done for a friend who has been wanting a special painting done of her dog. I hesitate to say this, but Romy is not only adorable (soft, fluffy, mid-size, great color, curly hair etc.), she is also one of the most well-mannered dogs I've come across. Granted, she does dig in the garbage, lock herself in the car, and get herself into other assorted puppy predicaments... Well, she's a beautiful dog anyway. :)

Fall Garden Pansies is the daily newbie in Flower Mound Studio. We had a special visitor today, Bett came for a private lesson, and rocked her pink and white roses in bright colors. AnnieBee and Hannah assisted us in the studio, of course, providing snorts of appreciation. This week I pack up for a fall workshop in Irving, Texas, and I'm excited to see some familiar faces returning to join me for flower painting again. I hope to see you there!
