"That's Hawaii!", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting, linen panel, miniature


 A quick note here -- my husband name this one -- I may ask for more assistance in titling in the future!  This title captures the essence of the little (miniature) painting -- what more can I say?

"That's Hawaii!",  palette knife/brush oil painting on 4x6" linen panel, $40 includes s/h in U.S., contact me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com and I'll mail you a Paypal invoice -- s/h in other locations to be determined at time of sale, of course. 

I have set up a second website, Paintings On Glass, to showcase my paintings on glass.  There is a piece in progress as I type with sailboats.  That's a true challenge, showing proper structure and making the water look good.  Be sure to check it out, along with my new blogspot, listed below.

Figure Study: Alegre in Yellow Dress, oil painting by Joanie Springer

Alegre in Yellow Dress
7 in. x 5 in. oil on canvas panel

Another great figure painting session, this time I worked smaller and that helped a lot. Also took my full size palette since I needed more mixing room. These were 30 minute sessions.

"Whilst in Lismore, Ireland", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting




Sometimes titling artwork can actually be fun, rather than frustrating or tedious.  Our family travelled some time ago to Ireland, a most delightful country, and we visited Lismore briefly.  I could not resist this title and hope you, too, enjoy the small bit of whimsy from a Yankee who really never uses the word "whilst"!

"Whilst in Lismore, Ireland" 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $215, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale.  Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice.  Thanks for looking!

Sophie Ponders Another Valentine's Day - a contemporary figurative oil painting by Joanie Springer


SOPHIE PONDERS ANOTHER VALENTINE'S DAY WITHOUT A DATE
6 in x 6 in, oil on cradled wood panel, sides painted black, ready to hang.
Price: $65 with FREE U.S shipping

Another one of these faces that just come through!

I've decided to add a bit more info about what pigments I'm working with, and support information.

I worked with a limited palette here: let's see, raw umber, sap green, cerulean blue, white, my new quin red and a wee bit of primary yellow light. I think that's it. I discovered the other day, while ordering new paints online that a naples yellow could be mixed with raw umber, cad red, cad yellow, white. So I tried my own version since i wanted most of the colors in this painting to be pretty muted or desaturated, starting with her skin tone. I'm working on eliminating the cadmium red and yellow when i run out, and in anticipation, I'm trying out Grumbacher Red (Napthol) as a potential replacement for Cad red, and Primary Yellow Light to replace cadmium yellow. I'll let you know how it goes. Yes, they mix differently, so it will take some practice, but so far I am encouraged. I use watersoluble oils exclusively.

Here's the link to my brand new ART TIP: Why I Use Watersoluble Oils info.

"Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai: Where the Sky Meets the Ocean", by Karla Nolan, palette knife, brush, oil painting,



Life has been a bit unsettling lately, family things and all.  I guess that's just how it goes these days.  The "sandwich" generation.  

Last weekend it snowed like crazy and I was unable, due to the icy roads, to go to Loveland to paint with my friends.  So...I set up shop in the kitchen on the breakfast table.  This is something I try NOT to do, as I do cook a fair amount and you shouldn't have oil paints near food -- more clean up time for me!  

However, I am happy to say that I enjoyed painting!  Two larger works came out of the day -- and here is the first of them:  "Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai:  Where the Sky Meets the Ocean" -- we were there a number of years ago and I'm no great hiking fan or great hiker!  Ultimately, I did enjoy the day, but with this trail you go DOWN first, UP last!  Aagh!  Hot, sweaty, warm weather, it was tedious but well worth the energy.  The Grand Canyon of Kauai and Hawaii, as I recall -- and I think it may be true!  At least I avoided the helicopter tour -- dysequilibium would have reigned!


"Awa'awapuhi Trail, Kauai:  Where the Sky Meets the Ocean", 12"x16" palette knife and brush oil painting on gessoed board, $215, unframed, s/h to be determined at time of sale.  Write me at KarlaNolan@gmail.com for more information or to buy through Paypal invoice.  Thanks for looking!
