"Tuscan Spring" by Karla Nolan
Well,
it's been a while since I've blogged and posted my artwork. I needed
to take a brief hiatus to attend to some family matters but I'm hoping
to be posting more regularly again.
Can
you guess what season I'd prefer to be in right now? Hint, it's not
winter! Our forecast 1" snowfall turned out to be a half foot deep
where we live. So my mind returns to Tuscany, Italy, in the springtime
where the fields are red with papaveri, the red European flowers in
bloom everywhere. This art piece comes framed up in a clean and simple
gold frame, ready to go on your wall.
"Tuscan
Spring", 10"x20" framed palette knife oil painting, $525 includes s/h

Thanks for viewing my art! Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado
"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.

Violet Rain Hydrangeas and DVDs vs Streaming by Nancy Medina
Violet Rain Hydrangeas
by Nancy Medina
16X12
Oil on Archival Pael
Violet Rain Hydrangeas is the newest painting in Flower Mound Studio, created under the spotlight and camera lens yesterday during my all-day filming session. No pressure! I soothed my camera shy nerves by telling myself all my students were right there behind the lens, enjoying donuts and coffee and getting ready to join me for afternoon paint-along sessions, just like old times. After editing is complete, and distribution and production is all polished and perfected, I'll be announcing where and when you can buy my new lessons. I'm still deciding whether to offer these as DVD only, or on demand online for streaming on the computer. What type of lesson do you like best? I have a feeling there will be long hours of research ahead for the best delivery method!

Beautiful roses for day 26 of the challenge (only 4 more days to go)
I am not sure about this painting, it doesn't quite work for me, although the roses have some lovely impasto passages on this. I wonder if the background is just to fussy. I may go back into it and calm it down giving it a more even colour - or maybe there is just too much in this for a small painting?
Let me know what you think about this one.

Tickled by Sunshine Sunflowers is one of two new dailies in Flower Mound Studio. Tonight I have tired feet, after spending the day under the spotlights. I filmed two instructional DVDs today, one on hydrangeas, and one on sunflowers. For those with enquiring minds, I did not wear a pug shirt, after all, since my apron would have covered it. I opted for layers and layers because Baby It's COLD outside in North Texas! Stay tuned to my art newsletter for announcements on when and where to get your copy of my new DVDs to come.

A beautiful new painted pony piece for a friend in San Francisco to decorate her new law office. She asked for the feminine colors and I think I delivered it in this contemporary horse painting.
With some deep thought and a lot of prayer, I may be not be blogging daily. I can only believe you get tired of getting my emails daily and seeing either older pieces or old thoughts even at times.
With the job of editor of Visual Language Magazine I stay pretty involved on the computer with many artists daily. I am working this spring to be back in the studio more and bring to you NEW work and new pieces and new ideas for art. If there is anything you would like to see me paint, please email me by clicking HERE, or going to my website and use the CONTACT ME page.
I want to celebrate you this year and try to give back more to my collectors, so you will have to check in occasionally for give aways. Books, paintings and more.
From Gary Mueller, a Methodist Minister on Facebook is posted a comment from last Friday. I have to stop focusing on the struggle of making it all work and focus on what is working and the gifts I have and want to share.
“God Really Does Change Your Life!”
by Gary Mueller
Something destructive happens when you choose to focus on what you don’t have – the right job, the house you want, the car of your dreams or enough money in the bank. Something wonderful happens when you focus on what you do have - even in the midst of real struggles in your life. When you focus on what you don’t have, you quickly develop an attitude of entitlement. This inevitably makes you more and more self-centered, which takes you away from God. However, when you focus on what you do have, you begin to experience overwhelming gratitude. This makes you more and more God-centered, which takes you into a ever-deeper relationship with God. The irony, of course, is that the more you make it all about you, the more you struggle. While, the more you make it about God, the better off you are. Confused? Well that’s exactly why it’s important to remember that God really does change your life! #GodNMe
BTW... Happy Birthday to my youngest son... he is one of my greatest gifts from God. Hope to see him more in the studio this year too.

Daisy Love Medley

16X12
Oil on Archival Panel
I'm stretching these fresh daisies for as long as they hold out under the spotlight, and if you think this vase is looking very familiar, you are absolutely right! What a busy day, two puggies went and got their teeth cleaned, and another went to the vet for his itchy medicine and a puggy peddi. I had to pack up all my paints and supplies after that because tomorrow I'm filming my first video! What does one wear in a painting video. Should I dress up with pearls like Julia Child? Or wear all black and a beret and pretend to have a french accent. The real question, though, is whether or not to wear a pug shirt. What do you think is proper video attire?

More red and more tulips for day 23 in the challenge. I love this red colour, it is Scarlet Lake by Winsor and Newton. I like to use it straight from the tube for a luscious red colour. When mixed with white it gives a lovely soft peachy/pink colour.
See yesterday's tulip painting here
About this painting
I find that reds can quickly lose their vibrancy when the paint dries. To help the red stay bright, I always underpaint with yellow.

Warmth on a Cold Day by Pamela Blaies
Warm Glow
18" x 14"
oil on linen
Painting light and air around these objects gave this whole composition a warm glow. I had an intentional purpose in exaggerating the light and reflections around the orange. I wanted to make sure the edges of the metal pitcher right up against the dark of the background drew the eye into the focal point, but didn't steal the focus. I love the drama it created of intense light. After I finished up the painting, I had to get out to run some errands and it was cold! Below freezing. I wanted to be back in my cozy studio in front of the "warm glow." Hope you are all keeping warm!

Cat Painting, "Sleeping Kitty" by Carol Schiff, 6x12x.75" Oil
This is not your typical cat painting. This kitty was so tired, she was sleeping on steps, in the middle of a tourist attraction. People climbing up and down around her, trying to avoid her stretched out body and to not step on her tail. Nothing bothered her.
Apparently, Louisiana cats are tough
The painting is on 6x12x.75" stretched canvas, painted with texture using both knife and brush.
Thank you for reading my blog today and I hope you like my little cat painting.

Bathed in Gold
by Laurie Justus Pace
16 x 20 Oil
This was completed in 2010 and is available in prints from Fine Art America.
Here is a link to purchase a print. Click here. This was such a surprise painting for me as it emerged from layering of colors. Very contemporary horse painting and very loose, it still manages to capture the essence of horse!
"To one he gave five bags of gold, to another two bags, and to another one bag,each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey. The man who had received five bags of gold went at once and put his money to work and gained five bags more. So also, the one with two bags of gold gained two more.
Matthew 25: 15-17

Daisy Dance and Justification for Yet Another New Vase by Nancy Medina
Daisy Dance
by Nancy Medina
16X12
Oil on Archival Panel
Today I took not one but two trips to our new market in town for fresh flowers, and came home with a bundle of fresh pink peonies, more delphiniums, and a handful of pink roses I just could not resist. Oh yes, and another new vase. In my own defense, I did break one of my favorite vases yesterday, so felt justified in bringing another one home to join my growing collection. I'm sure at this point I am in violation of a city ordinance restricting a household to ownership of no more than 250 vases or four metric tons of glassware at a time.
Daisies perched on the easel!
