"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.

"Gold in Those Red Hills", original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan





A little more experimentation on the old watercolor paper!  I really enjoyed painting this one -- "gold in them thar hills" sounds a bit tacky but -- it just reminded me so much of the southwestern part of the U.S., part Colorado, Utah, Arizona and so on.  You just never know what lies in the red rocks, hills, cliffs, with the turquoise skies overhead.  To me these are the quintessential Western colors of our terrain out here.  Happy, happy!

"Looking North, Beachy Head" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting




We love to travel to foreign lands and see new sights.  I never dreamed I'd ever get to southeastern England, the Kent ("garden of England" -- like England isn't a garden everywhere!).  We took part of a day to drive to Beachy Head, right on the English Channel.  It was an exquisite sight to see, the water, the rocks below, the lighthouse, the cliffs bright white!  I'm so pleased to have had this experience and would urge everyone who visits the U.K. to go there.  Imagine the history!

"Ireland's Rocky Coastline" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting



This scene is near Dingle, Slea Head, in Ireland.  It is a larger Irish painting than I've done in a while and it took a bit of forever to paint it -- I went back many, many times to get the shadows and rocks done to my satisfaction.  I'm happy with the results, all it needs now is a good frame and a good home.  Don't forget, St. Patrick's Day is next month, we're all Irish for a day!
