"Green Hills of Ireland", 9.5"x13" original watercolor painting by Karla Nolan




There are so many shades and hues of green in Ireland, I don't believe that one could name them all.  Accompanied by the grey clouds overhead, there are subtle, rolling hills, walls of stone separating lots, quaint old houses surrounded by bushes and trees, wildflowers growing in the green (!) meadows.  What glorious memories I have!

"Sunny Day Cliffs of Moher" by Karla Nolan, original watercolor and ink miniature painting matted to 5"x7"



The Cliffs of Moher are among Ireland's most famous sights.  Traveling up the coast to see them, they were was so covered in fog we couldn't get into the parking lot (we couldn't really see anything!).  The next day we attempted again to visit the cliffs and this time succeeded in our quest.  There wasn't as much sun that day as there is denoted in the above watercolor painting, but it was an exhilarating experience being so close to the cliffs and the water.  Highly recommended!

"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!

"Irish Fuchsia" by Karla Nolan, framed 12"x9" palette knife and oil painting




Did you know that the fuchsia is the national flower of Ireland?  'Tis!  We were there a long time ago with our daughters and I actually saw fuchsias growing wild along an old stone wall.  It was an amazing sight, the sort of thing you'd never expect to see!  This particular bunch comes all framed up and ready to hang on your wall.
