"Chilly Spring Walk" by Lynda Cookson
It's just the right time of year for a "Chilly Spring Walk" in your local nature trail (if you're in the northern hemisphere like we are!). The days are really beautiful with ever-changing days of April showers, sunshine and nippy breezes, and light white clouds in the blue sky. All the little flowers are heralding the onset of Spring and I am having loads of fun picking little wild posies to dot around the house. Lawn Daisies are my favourites and I love how they pop up within hours of the lawn being mown.
My "Chilly Spring Walk" painting, oil on paper, is available as the ORIGINAL HERE
and
the image for prints and giclees is available as an INSTANT DOWNLOAD HERE

Before the Storm, Winter, by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
11x14 acrylic on canvas, UV varnish, sides painted, wired and ready to hang. See this and more paintings for sale at
I learned the art of acrylic and pastel painting through private instruction, after having spent my career as a designer of printed fabrics in the New York market place. I am a graduate of the College of Design, Art and Architecture at the University of Cincinnati, with a major in the History of Art, 1977. Later, I studied printed textile design at Parsons School of Design, in New York. Immediately afterward, I began free lance work for several design studios in the garment district of NYC, where I did re-coloration work for printed apparel fabrics, and sold my own designs through Bread and Butter Designs,also located in New York. In addition, during the 1980's and 1990's, I designed a number of needlecraft and stencil books for Dover Publications. Currently, I am working on a series of exotic birds and other animals done in acrylic paint, with a palette knife, for texture and brilliant color. I consider my paintings to be representational or impressionistic in nature, and I use fantasy colors because what I see often makes me feel these colors,and what would make an interesting composition, rather than using realistic colors.

"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...)

"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.

"Ecstasy" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting
One
might say that I am ecstatic about sunsets, as shown in the above
painting, "Ecstasy". No two are alike for any day or any amount of time
in the day, just a quick, split second in time. And since I live so
close to the Rocky Mountains, the Continental Divide, I love the
mountains just below the clouds!

"Green Hills of Ireland", 9.5"x13" original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan
There
are so many shades and hues of green in Ireland, I don't believe that
one could name them all. Accompanied by the grey clouds overhead, there
are subtle, rolling hills, walls of stone separating lots, quaint old
houses surrounded by bushes and trees, wildflowers growing in the green
(!) meadows. What glorious memories I have!

"Sunset Waves" by Karla Nolan, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting
There
just is nothing much more satisfying than seeing a sunset over the
Rocky Mountains here in Colorado. They are favorites for painting
material, of course, and I just never grow weary of them. You never
know what you'll see and it occasionally seems to be raining color!

"Blues Skies" by Karla Nolan, 36"x36" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas
Well,
this is a biggie -- 3 feet by 3 feet, painted primarily in blue hues.
Hence, the name. The clouds in Colorado are so beautiful, so numerous
with the varying shades of the blues in the background, they light up
everything! Ready to hang, no need to frame unless you want to.

"Busy Night Skies" by Karla Nolan
My
take on painting in any medium is this: have fun! Don't take yourself
too seriously. Experiment. Try not to stress (good luck with
that!)..
"Busy
Night Skies" is my interpretation in palette knife oils of what any given
moment in the skies -- moon shimmering through the clouds, possible
lightning strikes occurring, clouds rolling in, satellites blipping over
the landscape. And of course it all occurs over my beloved Rocky
Mountains! I had fun!

"Furioso (Furious)" by Karla Nolan
This
is the sort of sunset I'm used to seeing in the summer evenings here in
northern Colorado. Sometimes it almost seems as if the clouds have
their own personalities, whirling about in the atmospheric winds overhead.
Bright, bold colors with blue hues, hints of turquoise, the silhouette
of the foothills leading to the Rocky Mountains, the Continental Divide,
the backbone of North America. Am I a lucky girl or what???

"Moon at Midnight" by Karla Nolan
Yes,
I am at it again, another night sky scene. There is always so much
happening in those dark skies, the moon shining, the stars shooting, the
hint of a possible storm. I am most intrigued, as I hope you are,
also, by the mystery of the night!
