"Western Sunset" by Karla Nolan, framed glass painting


ALERT: You are about to view art of a different nature. These are paintings on glass -- that is, painted directly onto glass with specially formulated glass paints. They are always framed for the protection of the glass. The paints often are transparent and sometimes opaque, giving a stained glass appearance under good light. They, like all fine art, should not be hung in direct sunlight. The photographs do not do them justice -- my colors are very vibrant. Close ups are available, just e-mail me for information (see below). In most instances, click on the actual image for an even larger image to view -- you'll see lots of different items such as marbelization, transparent or opaque parts of the work -- try it and see! Commissions are accepted.

To me this is the quintessential sunset of the West. Of course the sunsets vary somewhat, but often they are seen in these colors -- bluish-grayish tones overhead, bright but fleeting colors just over the mountains with the yellow glow beginning the dip down below the hills. We live right next to the Rocky Mountains in the foothills -- sort of nestled up to the beginning of the altitude climb. This is the West as I know it.
