"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!

"Sunset Gold" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor painting



Ah, more watercolor experimentation with the skies, the sunsets in particular.  Don't all sunsets have a bit of magic in them?  They shift so quickly, sometimes they are breathtaking, literally!  November happens to be my favorite month to observe them, just before starting dinner, closing out another day.  (The lower picture is a close up view.)

"Delicate Arch, Utah" by Karla Nolan, watercolor painting matted to 8"x10"




There are many arches in The Arches National Monument outside of Moab, Utah, but this maybe the most famous.  Cliffs, arches, trails abound.  Bright blue skies overhead, red rocks, earth below, as well as ochres, yellows, golds, oranges.. It's a bit like a different planet and, of course, well worth the visit.  Amazing what Mama Nature does!

"Blue Iris" by Karla Nolan, framed pastel painting, sale





This is an older pastel painting which I still love but I have decided to offer it for sale, as I am honestly running out of wall space in my art studio!  It needs a good home.  I studied pastel painting with Clive Tyler, who has gone on to national recognition, and enjoyed learning art techniques which could be applied across the board to any art medium.  This particular piece is more classically framed in gold but the actual painting has a contemporary, abstract edge to it. A nice juxtaposition!
