Today I’m thinking about a lake, and some cooler weather. I love the Fall. Enjoyed painting this one.

Breaking Through by Lynda Cookson
"Breaking Through" ... I love this abstract. I can feel the sun, the warmth of that sun, a warm evening sky, the sea, and the white foam of the waves.
A residency at the restored stone cottage famine village of Cill Rialaig, near Ballinskelligs in Co Kerry, Ireland, was the inspiration for this acrylic on board. The strong winter wind whipped the foam from the top of the waves and blew it against the cliffs. That, together with the sense of all the ancient (and not so ancient) lives lived there created a very spiritual atmosphere. Absolutely wonderful weather and wonderful inspiration!
"Breaking Through" is for sale HERE ... or just click the image and you'll be taken through to the correct page where you'll find the price and the size of the painting.

"Orange Electricity" by Karla Nolan, lightning, weather, skies, night, affordable
Sometimes
I find it difficult to blog my artworks as frequently as I do on the internet. The last
thing I want to do is bore anyone or become too predictable about what I paint.
So I try to jumble it up a bit, sometimes putting up flowers, skies, travel memories. I have been chomping at the bit to show you this little dandy, honestly! Some of the most enjoyable paintings I have worked on come from my imagination, some of which is based upon research of the subject matter at hand (or palette knife!), some of it based upon prior observation, especially anything involving the skies. I hope you like this as much as I do, it was a blast to paint!

"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.

"Autumn Leaf Storm" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting
Well,
it appears that the weather has been influencing my art work as of
late... About a week ago the wind just howled at night, the autumn
leaves were furiously dropping from trees, and then the thunderstorm
hit! Our honey locust tree ash has grown tremendously since we moved
into this house and it was slamming into the siding, keeping me awake
much of the night. Naturally, I thought I should definitely "document"
the event.

"Crackling Everywhere!" by Karla Nolan,miniature palette knife oil painting
Another
vivid sky in my lightning series, this one is happening at sunset.
Just imagine the static electricity, the voltage as the sky is being
torn apart by such forces! I usually place these skies just along the
silhouette of the mountains, as that is what I see out my front door.
Yes, I am most spoiled living along the foothills of the Rocky Mountains
in Colorado! Love it!

"Zapping Through the Nighttime Sky" by Karla Nolan
Living in Colorado is a meteorological adventure, a weather puzzle. As you must know, we have had "biblical", monumental flooding recently, plus wildfires not only this year but last year. In 1997, a friend of ours had to swim for her life, along with her young son. It simply is never dull around here!
Earlier in the spring, we seemed to be having a lot of thunderstorms, complete with incredible lightning, of course. I started mulling this over -- what if I try to paint the sky when it's uproarious, zipping with electricity, zapping toward the earth. This is the first in a series of fun: lightning storms painted with palette knife and oil. They are a creative and artistic effort to convey emotion, not a literal one, my imagination was involved here, not necessarily realism. I hope you enjoy viewing them as much as I enjoyed painting them! What a blast!
