"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!

"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!

"Poppies and Hills", 5"x7" painting on glass (measured edge to edge glass) in frame shown, $125 includes s/h in continental U.S., Paypal accepted, click button below or write me for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

"Ocean Waves" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

The ocean never fails to fascinate me. Being landlocked in Colorado, but happily so, I especially like looking at the waves breaking and the skies overhead. It can be turmoil to paint, but, hey, why not give it a try, onto glass, no less!

"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!

"Multiple Irises" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

While we're far from Spring, it's always on my mind. The irises soar towards the sun in multiple colors and Mother Nature makes her own bouquets. I suppose we can wait three months and several days for this bounty...but it's not easy!

"Multiple Irises", 20"x16" painting on glass (measured edge to edge glass) in frame shown, $960 includes s/h in continental U.S., Paypal accepted, click button below or write me for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

"Red Skies" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

I like red and I like drama in skies. Hence the above painting (bottom photo is the close up). Sunsets are my favorite genre to paint and you never see or paint the same one twice! I usually have mountains involved in these art works, as I live right by them and sometimes it's almost as if there is a bounce back in the colors. Paintings on glass are nerve wracking because it is so easy to get overly enthusiastic and mess it all up but I'm pleased with this outcome. And it comes already framed (in a basic black frame), ready for the nail in your wall!

"Red Skies", 8"x10" (measured edge to edge glass) in frame shown, $240 includes s/h in continental U.S., Paypal accepted, click button below or write me for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

"Windswept Indian Paintbrush" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Oops, at it again, I guess, that painting on glass and all! This is my take on the famous Indian Paintbrush flowers, a flowering plant indigenous to the western U.S., always a delight to see blooming alongside the road, on hikes, climbing up a mountain....I've seen them recently in Colorado and Wyoming and they occur in varying colors, primarily red but sometimes with an orange hue.

"Windswept Indian Paintbrush", 6"x6" (measured edge to edge glass) in frame shown, $125 includes s/h in continental U.S., Paypal accepted, click button below or write me for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

"Chilis of New Mexico", framed painting on glass by Karla Nolan

Recently I've had renewed interest in my framed paintings on glass from a few Daily Painters website visitors, so I thought I'd acquaint you with my "Chilis of New Mexico" -- yes, hot and spicy, habenero, Anaheim, Poblano, jalapeno -- you name it, any of them could be in this painting! Unfortunately, try as I may, the heat of the chilis wipes me out, it's an embarrassment to see! Oh well, I still love the Mexican foods!

"Chilis of New Mexico", 9"x12" (measured edge to edge glass) in black frame, $325 includes s/h in continental U.S., Paypal accepted, click button below or write me for more information at KarlaNolan@gmail.com

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

This is an older painting but I still love it. It's pretty detailed if you stand directly in front of it, but back up and you "get the picture"! Papaveri, coquelicot, poppies -- call them what you will, they are always happy!

"Yellow Water Lilies in Yellowstone National Park" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass

Well, this is kind of different, isn't it? We were in Yellowstone a number of years ago, just driving along, looking at all the marvelous sights when I saw something that just didn't quite seem to fit in with what I expected to see in Wyoming. Hawaii, yes, Wyoming, no. Water lilies were in bloom in water near the road -- I got out of the car, went over, looked at almost black water, and there they were, floating on the pads, in that water. I was amazed, and bright yellow, to boot! We have been back to Yellowstone National Park since then, drove to the same spot, and, voila, they weren't anywhere to found. Another amazing nature story from the mysterious planet called Earth!
