Hookers and Boats by Lynda Cookson
From my years living in the West of Ireland, it was always so special to spot a Galway Hooker plying the waves, often between the Aran Islands off Galway and into Galway Bay. I believe there is still at least one enthusiast still making and restoring Hookers.
Years ago, in the area we lived in (Connemara) the Hookers would be used to ferry turf (peat) and supplies from the mainland to islands like the three Aran Islands. I watched a video once of an old movie made whilst towing a horse across the bay between the islands and Galway. I didn't much like that, feeling awful for the poor horse, but those days were much harder than now, in that respect, so perhaps I shouldn't judge!
I've popped in a couple of watercolours of boats amongst the Hooker paintings below.
Happy New Year everyone!

"Fuschia" by Lynda Cookson
I often take a break in Milly the Motorhome, taking not only oil paints with me, but also inks and watercolors. Well, who knows how the wind will blow!
Having lived with the stunning mini-Fuschia hedges in Ireland for more than a decade, they are, of course, very close to my heart and imprinted on my soul. It was watercolor for this painting.
This "Fuschia" can be purchased by CLICKING HERE or by clicking on either of the images or their titles.

"Fancy Dance" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink
Okay,
I'll be up front. I do not plan to sell this painting. It was
extremely time consuming to paint, full of detail, which is not my usual
modus operandus. I went to the Northern Colorado Pow Wow a couple of
weeks ago with my husband and then with my young granddaughter. I love a
pow wow. The color, the spirit, the dancing, the drumming, nothing is
quite like it. So I attempted to capture a second of the fancy dance, I
was diligent in my effort, and I am so happy with it! Yaay!
"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.

"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.

"Poppy Field Near Trevi, Italy" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink painting on paper
From the moon to the poppy fields again (my last blog was a lunar blog) -- we were near this field but above it when we first saw it, standing near a wall in Trevi, Italy. Visiting in May, the delightful red flowers were everywhere and we drove all around so I could get some reference photos. Luckily we were successful in navigating to this field, so here you go, some more poppies from me to you!
