"Quartet" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink painting on paper

I feel that you can see the past, present and future in this poppy painting.  Fitting for the season, eh?  The seeds have formed from the flower having bloomed, ready to throw to the next generation.  The poppies are in various stages of bloom and there are a couple of buds just ready to burst open!  Ah, Mama Nature strikes again!

"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!

"Poppies at Paestum (Italy)" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink painting

 Located in the southern part of Italy are ancient Greek ruins and, what else, poppies growing near them!  They are a marvelous site to see, the combination of blue skies, cypress, the actual Greek ruins surrounded by field stone walls, and the bright red poppies, seemingly unfazed by history long gone by.  Visit this extraordinary site if you can, you won't regret it.

"Vermilion Hills" by Karla Nolan, watercolor on paper

This painting is something of a compilation of the many poppy fields I've seen in both Italy and France.  Lots of red, wouldn't you say?  How can these beautiful flowers not make one smile?  I love seeing them!

"Poppies for D" by Karla Nolan, watercolor and ink painting on paper

Yes, more poppies!  Experimental for me, as watercolor always is and will be (hard to control the water part of it!), I started this painting in Rome and finished it in Fort Collins, having a great time in the meantime!  More coming, as I really do enjoy playing with the colors and the ink outlines.

"Near Najac, France" by Karla Nolan, watercolor painting (unmatted)

It was May of 2013, a very difficult time in life as my father had passed away.  We escaped to France.  May is poppy month and we were fortunate enough to be able to view the many coquelicot fields around this little village, Najac.  Seeing these happy hills of red soothed my shattered nerves a bit.  Looking back, I recall the emotions of losing a beloved person, those feelings never leave.  But France helped.

"Papaveri Trio" by Karla Nolan, matted watercolor and ink painting

Yup, still at it with the watercolor and ink paintings.  My neck hates me, though.  I am more accustomed to standing, hopefully straight, and painting with a palette knife on canvas.  I just have been enjoying this media, remembering my dad's passion for painting with watercolor and ink, not the same subject matter, but the memories are great.  And you know me, I can't get enough of bright red poppies!

"Poppy Pounce" by Karla Nolan unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

Giving a painting a title can be a tedious event.  I mean, let's face, have I not painted more than a couple of poppy paintings?  I was straining my brain today to give this post a proper name and then I thought of how my cat, as a kitten, used to pounce on everything!  I could just see him pouncing on these poppies (aka papaveri, coquelicot)!  Hence, voila, the name of this painting was born!

"Poppy Field Near Aveyron, France" by Karla Nolan, matted watercolor painting

I've been flipping between watercolor painting and painting onto glass lately.  It's not that I can't make up my mind, I rather enjoy the variety.  I know some folks say "stick with one genre or medium" but that's simply not in my nature.  It's educational, at least for me, to go back and forth and even sparks my imagination and experimentation!  Yes, it's yet another poppy painting, and yes, it's another painting of France, but, hey, why not?  Can you have too much of a happy flower or lovely country (along with Italy, of course, and, while I'm at it, Israel, England, Wales, Ireland....need I say more?)

"Busy in The Poppy Fields" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting

 This watercolor painting has multiple layers of colors on it, tons of flowers, too!  Just imagine how active it must be for a flower to emerge from the earth, other plants surrounding it, blue skies overhead.  May is just the best time for the European poppies in France and Italy and we are delighted to have all different sorts in our own garden during our summer months.  Lovin' those poppies!

"Red Poppy Quartet" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting

This was a good experience, I've learned a lot about watercolor painting and am enjoying it most days.  There are those "off" days, of course, but one encounters them in any endeavor and that does not exclude any form of art media!  Oh my!  I love the poppies, always have, any kind -- hope you like this painting as much as I do, a great time painting.  Isn't that what it's all about?

"Poppy Face" by Karla Nolan, framed original pastel painting
