"Busy Night Skies" by Karla Nolan, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas




My take on painting in any medium is this:  have fun!  Don't take yourself too seriously.  Experiment.  Try not to stress (good luck with that!)..  

"Busy Night Skies" is my interpretation in palette knife oils of what any given moment in the skies -- moon shimmering through the clouds, possible lightning strikes occurring, clouds rolling in, satellites blipping over the landscape.  And of course it all occurs over my beloved Rocky Mountains!  I had fun!

"Moon at Midnight" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting





Yes, I am at it again, another night sky scene.  There is always so much happening in those dark skies, the moon shining, the stars shooting, the hint of a possible storm.  I am most intrigued, as I hope you are, also, by the mystery of the night!

"Blue Moon" by Karla Nolan, 4"x12" unframed palette knife oil painting



I noticed the other night that we had a full moon.  It was just before our snowstorm struck, yet again delaying Spring.  Weather is rarely dull here in Colorado; wait 20 minutes, it'll change.  Then I started thinking about the "blue moon" -- two full moons in one month.  I have no idea if this is the month for such an occurrence but I am enraptured with painting moonscapes.  They are just so much fun!  Here's one for you....

"Snow Trees at Night" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting


Okay, it's winter here in my sweet Colorado, it's really cold here and there are two or three feet of snow or more in the nearby foothills.  What does this look like at night, pitch black, maybe just a hint of moonlight?  I don't honestly depict Nature as it actually is, I'd be a photographer if I did that, but this is my creative imagination at work....looks sort of inviting if you have warm clothing, huh?

"Mystery" by Karla Nolan, UNFRAMED miniature palette knife oil painting






I'll need you to use your imagination a bit here -- you can see the actual unframed painting of night skies, "Mystery", at the top of this blog and then an example of a framed painting with the same painting.  Please pretend that the matting is a linen mat -- I didn't have one the correct size on hand -- and you can see how a miniature painting can increase to more of a presence.  

We are so close to winter now, the darkness arrives so early, what really is in the sky above?  It's just a mystery to me!

"Full Moon Night Scene" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting




Ah, a return to the silhouette of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains just outside my front door....I know I sound a bit obnoxious, going on and on about what a privilege it is to live where I do in northern Colorado, but it truly is the case!  This is the sort of view in which I get to indulge myself and I never tire of it...welcome to my sweet world!

"Lightning Over City Lights" by Karla Nolan, miniature palette knife oil painting, night scene, affordable



Here is another entry into my weather or lightning series.  We live near the foothills of the Rocky Mountains here in Fort Collins, Colorado, and the weather can be quite entertaining!  As I drive west towards the mountains at twilight and at nighttime, the flickering lights up on the hills overlooking Horsetooth Reservoir to the west and looking out at the Great Plains to the east grab my attention.  Add in some lightning and, man, you have got a show!

"Autumn Leaf Storm" by Karla Nolan, unframed miniature palette knife oil painting affordable

 
Well, it appears that the weather has been influencing my art work as of late...  About a week ago the wind just howled at night, the autumn leaves were furiously dropping from trees, and then the thunderstorm hit!  Our honey locust tree ash has grown tremendously since we moved into this house and it was slamming into the siding, keeping me awake much of the night.  Naturally, I thought I should definitely "document" the event.
