"Dark Hills, Bright Skies" by Karla Nolan, palette knife and brush watercolor painting
This
is another experimental piece in watercolor using both brush and
palette knives. Always up for a new challenge, eh? The paper is a bit
rougher than others I've tried, hence the more textured sky. Bottom
line: I AM HAVING FUN!

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 Trees and Mas by Jeannette Johnston
Oil on Gallery Wrapped Canvas
24" x 20" / 12F
€150
This painting is of a scene in the Alpilles. In that area of Provence the farms and villages are a pale whitish stone bleached by the sun. The landscape is quite arid with scrubby bushes known as garrigue covering the lower slopes of the mountains and in the valleys fields of olive trees as far as the eye can see. Although there are generally fewer vineyards than in the neighbouring Luberon, there are some particularly around the pretty little village of Eygalières.
