"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!

I noticed the other night that we had a full moon.  It was just before our snowstorm struck, yet again delaying Spring.  Weather is rarely dull here in Colorado; wait 20 minutes, it'll change.  Then I started thinking about the "blue moon" -- two full moons in one month.  I have no idea if this is the month for such an occurrence but I am enraptured with painting moonscapes.  They are just so much fun!  Here's one for you....

"Full Moon Night Scene" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting




Ah, a return to the silhouette of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just outside my front door....I know I sound a bit obnoxious, going on and on about what a privilege it is to live where I do in northern Colorado, but it truly is the case!  This is the sort of view in which I get to indulge myself and I never tire of it...welcome to my sweet world!

Well, I'm a little behind on my blogging, but not behind on the painting. One more painting to get in today. I will be taking off in a few minutes leaving rainy Tahoe for probably rainy Oregon. I haven't looked at the weather for Oregon. Yep, just looked.... cloudy and rainy. It's before the 4th of July, so it was a safe bet I was right. So, I guess my next painting will be a rainy one.

 I had a busy weekend here on Lake Tahoe with my friend Michele de Braganca. Friday night we went down to the lake beach for a bar-b-que/solstice party to watch the moon rise over the lake. It was beautiful and BIG, which I think I told you a little about in the last post. Anyway, this painting was painted the next morning from memory. The sunlight was hitting the tops of some of the mountains while the moon was comiing up. It was gorgeous.

 Sat, I felt a little lazy, but did take care of business things, went on a walk and painted the above painting. In the late afternoon we all went down to the beach again for the start of the summer concerts with the "Trey Stone Band". Lots of fun dancing and listening to 60's music. It felt like HS days out there. Then dinner when we came home.

 Michele and I are already planning my trip next year stopping here longer, going out camping and painting to several locations around the area. Now, it's off to my next destination. Talk to you all later today or possibly two posts tomorrow to catch up on the blogging.

"Castiglione Falletto and the Full Moon" by Karla Nolan

Oh, this was just so much fun to paint -- and to research!  I'm a lucky lady, my husband and I went to Italy, to the Piedmont region where the nebbia grapes grow and Barolo wines originate.  We walked around this tiny little village for a bit -- it's really small, so we didn't walk at that long -- and came to the edge of the town by the stone wall.  There it was, the moon, in its full glory during the day.  The hills were distant, the next town over just shone, and I was just glad to be where I was at the moment, with my sweetheart and in Italy.  What more could a woman want?  (Other than homemade Italian food and drop dead wonderful wines, of course!)
