"Classic Venice Dusk" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
This is a little painting, miniature, just something to remind me of the beauty of Venice, Italy. There's no other place like it, positively mesmerizing.

"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.

Karensfineart Original oil painting Venice Gondolas by Karen Tarlton
I am a dreamer it's true, so when I do I paint my dreams, thoughts and visions.
I think all this winter and snow is making me long for
warm summer days and a magical get away.
But for now paint some memories!
“All people dream, but not equally.
Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their mind, wake in the morning to find it was vanity.
But the dreamers of the day are dangerous people
For they dream their dreams with open eyes
And make them come true”
~D.H. Lawrence

It's been awhile since I have painted this lovely, magical place and it was time.
I would love to go back, but my next trip will be to Sweden, Norway and England.
In the Spring, and many new paintings will hopefully come since Sweden will be
a new adventure!

"Ah, Venezia!" by Karla Nolan, italy, venice, dusk, sunset
I
guess Italy must be on my mind these days, having recently posted a
Tuscan poppy fields and now a sunset in Venice. Italy is one of the
most wonderful places on the planet, I have had the best times there
with the delicious food, wonderful wines, and lively and enchanting
people. Venice is a true gem, the canals and sights are mind boggling.
Do go there if you can!

Venice Afternoon

Listing tomorrow and it's a magical place to go and just watch the world go by.
A cup of coffee or a glass of wine, better yet
and watch the light change on the water
and feel the antiquity.
Lovely.

"Yellow Boat Waiting, Venice, Italy" by Karla Nolan
Walking
down a flight of stairs and then directly outdoors from the bed and
breakfast in Venice, there was a small canal -- not like the Grand Canal
where the vaporettos run (like buses on water) -- just a small side
street, if you will. Here floated a small yellow boat, next to an old
red brick building, under the red geraniums, waiting, waiting, waiting
for its owner to take it further out onto the water -- maybe owner would
be planning to pick up some groceries, get to work, meet up with
friends? I'll never know, but it was a Venetian sort of comfort to see
this yellow vehicle ready for the day....
"Yellow Boat Waiting, Venice, Italy", 8"x6" miniature oil painting on canvas, $95 includes s/h in the continental U.S.
Paypal preferred, write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information -- as always, thank you for looking!
