"Cinque Terre, Misty Day", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, gessoed board, modern, contemporary, impressionist, landscape, seascape

My apologies, I have been swamped with family issues and haven't been able to paint for almost two weeks! Unbelievable for me! So....we're back to Italy, the Cinque Terre again, on a rare misty day. This was a challenge to paint but it turned out fine in my book. What do you think?

"Cinque Terre, Misty Day", 11"x14" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $194, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale. Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice. Thanks for looking!

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass. There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats. That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good. Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

Look below for a link to yet another art blogspot, one that I created for my paintings on glass, or click here: PaintingOntoGlass

"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!"
