Veiw of the Boyne Valley, Ireland by NY artist, Celeste Plowden
12x12 acrylic on canvas, sides painted, wired and ready to hang, available at chairish.com
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.

Florida Landscape Paintng | Daily Painting | Small Oil Painting | Dance of the Wavesby Carol Schiff | 6x8" Palette Knife Painting | SOLD
 |
| SOLD |
I don't really understand what it is about water that makes our blood pressure drop, why it is so appealing to most everyone.
During the hot, steamy summer months, I often wonder why we live in Florida, but this time of the year, there is no doubt.
Paint me a picture of the landscape.
Dance me the dance of the waves.
Sing me of the legends of the river.
Tell me the story of the sky.

"Coalescence" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting
I enjoy the late part of the day, just before dusk, especially when viewing anything relating to water (reservoir, lake, river,
stream, ocean). The way the light of the sky bounces off the water is
especially intriguing and putting all of the hue together makes for a
great challenge. I hope I've met it in the painting.

"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.

"Just Sailing Along" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass
We
have just returned from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and please
keep in mind, I am not used to seeing so much water around us! We are
happily landlocked in northern Colorado but being near the H2O is quite
refreshing and enjoyed our time there. I painted this painting on glass
some time ago and thought I'd show it to you here, in honor of all the
blues that we saw while on vacation! Best seen in person, of course, as
are most paintings on glass.
"Just Sailing Along", 10.25"x17.5" measured edge to edge glass, framed as shown, write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information
