"Killary Fjord with Rhodedendrons" by Lynda Cookson
This is from a mini series I did in Ireland. This one is from Leenane in Connemara where Killary Fjord is the only fjord in Ireland.
I'm thinking of doing more minis (4" x 4") soon ... perhaps of harbour scenes here in Brittany. Perhaps putting this up here will get me going!! LOL

"Southwest Panorama in Reds" by Karla Nolan, watercolor on paper
There is something about the colors of the cliffs, hills, mesas, and mountains in the Southwest United States that is so intriguing to me. There is no one shade of red involved, instead there are underlying purples, oranges, yellows, browns. Usually there is a bright blue sky with incoming storms fully in view when observing the clouds. I love it here in Colorado and also seeing the view in Utah, New Mexico and Arizona.

"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.

"Golden Hour" by Karla Nolan, watercolor painting on paper
Some people say don't use metallic gold in your paintings, but I disagree with that notion. Rarely is it my go to, but in this case it captured exactly what I wanted, just a hint of shimmer in the late day. The "Golden Hour".

"Lilac Skies, Full Moon and Mountains" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
A return (again!) to the Lunar-tique series. I had a very difficult time capturing the colors of the sky while photographing this particular artwork but finally feel that they are representative of this piece. It's always hard to get exactly the right shades for the skies and incorporate other elements accurately but I didn't go for accuracy with this moon. I prefer the imagination!

Daily Painting, Landscape, "Field of Poppies",SOLD 6x8, oil
It's always a beautiful sight to come upon a field of poppies in the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Mountain, Landscape, Oil Painting, "The Blue Ridge" 18x24"
The past few years, I have been painting my little daily paintings, but lately, I have felt the need to go larger, and deeper.
This is a view of Water Rock Knob, just off the Blue Ridge Parkway in North Carolina, one of my favorite places in this world.
I painted the background and much of the foreground with a palette knife.
I tried to stay loose with my brushwork too.
Life is good in the mountains!

Blue Afternoon, by New York artist, Celeste Plowden
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.

"Aurora Borealis Over the Mountains" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
A
disclaimer here, this is not the real aurora borealis, it's my
imagination! I had fun with this one, mixing colors in and out,
deepening the silhouette of the mountain range with trees in view. A
little bit of artistic license, possibly, but a whole lot of fun to
paint!

"Sparkly Western Sunset" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
I
painted this sunset a while back with my handy palette knives and
couldn't decide on a name for it. Looking at it in different lighting
situations, I kept notice how sparkly it was, a high gloss varnish added
to the colors greatly. Thus the name was born: "Sparkly Western
Sunset" -- because that is what it is, full of life and color! A sweet
miniature...

"Rocky Mountain Dusk" by Karla Nolan unframed palette knife oil painting
This
is a larger painting, 16"x20" unframed. It is the quintessential Rocky
Mountain scene, so typically Colorado. If you want to get an idea of
what it is like to live near the mountains, just look at this painting, I
think you'll get the hang of it! It really can be dramatic as the last
rays of the sun appear over the forthcoming mountain silhouette.

Landscape Daily Painting "Mountain Wildflowers", 6x8" SOLD
Happy Monday to you!
It's always nice to wake up to something cheerful, especially on a Monday, so I hope this little daily painting fills the bill for you.
Not my usual painting of the Blue Ridge Mountains, this one is from those grown up mountains in the northwest. You know those real mountains, those rugged mountains, those manly mountains!
It seems to me that everything is more rugged in the west whether we are talking mountains, oceans, bears, seagulls, trees etc. Everything seems tougher and bigger and maybe a little scarier!
We are a little more beaten down, or should I say, gentler on the east coast. One thing that does not change, is the beauty of our country, no matter where you are!
Make this a great week!

"Daybreak!", by Karla Nolan, 18"x24" unframed palette knife oil painting
I love painting the skies. I don't like early morning, however, and have missed many a pretty dawn here in Colorado. Silhouettes of bushes and trees have always intrigued me. So I thought I'd bite the bullet and put together an early morning scene. Maybe I'll reconsider and start rising earlier. (I doubt it!)

"I Want to Live Here!" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting
Colorado
is my favorite state in this country. Not only was I born here but I
plan to die here. Fort Collins, here in the northern part of the state,
is my "little slice of paradise". Life here is good. We have the
plains, the high prairie, the mountains, the rugged and rocky terrain of
the western part of the state, also. I feel very fortunate. The
paintings says it all.
