"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.

"Solo Act: Red Indian Paintbrush" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting



You may have noticed that I love the color red, the energy, the vibrancy, the fire.  And so on.  I painted this Indian Paintbrush a few years back and was recently contacted by some folks in California interested in purchasing it.  I enthusiastically agreed, of course!  It is going to a good home and I am so happy!

"Poppies Among the Greek Ruins at Paestum" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting




 Several years ago we travelled to Italy and visited a more southern region.  It took a while to reach Paestum, but the drive was worthwhile, as we were able to walk around ancient Greek ruins, still standing to a degree.  And, yes, of course, there were the wild red poppies!  What a delight!

"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!

"Vermilion Hills" by Karla Nolan, watercolor on paper

"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!

"Happy" by Karla Nolan, framed watercolor painting




"Happy" is a small framed in gold, matted in off-white, watercolor painting of just that, a very happy red poppy.  One of my favorite subjects to paint, I have seen a few red oriental poppies blooming around town.  It has been so rainy, so wet, so soggy here, I'm amazed that they've dared to open, sans sun!

Should you be interested in purchasing this 7"x5" (mat/framed size) work for $95, please call Meg at 970-484-7862 or visit EsScentuals when you are in town at 142 South College, in the heart of downtown Fort Collins, Colorado.  Tell her Karla sent you! 

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

"Poppies and Hills" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass





Yes, here are more poppies, but these are painted directly onto the glass and the framing technique I use gives them dimensional aspects not usually seen in paintings on canvas.  These actually look three dimensional from some angles.  Always playing around with the glass paints and having a blast doing so!

"Wild Red Flowers" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass





I haven't painted in almost three weeks now, due to a nasty fall down some wooden stairs.  I still have a very swollen jammed finger on my right hand and it's slowed me down mightily, even in typing.  So no blogs, either.  I've been getting restless, so thought this painting would fill in the gap for now.  Hope you enjoy the view!
