"Return to the Irish Cliffs" by Karla Nolan
Whenever
I am indecisive about what to paint, I know that I can count on
Ireland. It is so beautiful there and the multitude of green hues is a
blast. You can't go wrong with the greens of the land, be they emerald,
olive, lime, and so on. Never a dull moment on the palette knife!
I
believe this is Slea Head, near Dingle. I proudly display an Irish
bumper sticker on my car, by the way, even though I don't have a drop of
Irish blood in me -- my husband does, however!
"Return to the Irish Cliffs", 8"x10" unframed palette knife oil painting on linen

Thanks for viewing my art! Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado
"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.

Olive Grove by Jeannette Johnston
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
24" x 22" / 12F
€250
Available to purchase online at
This painting is of an olive grove in the Alpilles, a region which stretches from Avignon in northern Provence to the Camargue in the south. The countryside has great natural beauty, with the vegetation including scrubby bushes, pine forests, oaks and vineyards as well as olive trees. Here and there alleys of cypresses lead up to restored bastides or dry stone farms, as in the painting.
