"Flying to The Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

Some more lunar fun. This is a sizeable painting, perfect for over that sofa that needs freshening. And who says a moon can't be pink? Hints of waterfalls, obvious mountains, a bit more rugged terrain maybe? Drifty atmosphere in the sky....and so on.

"Seaside Moon" by Karla Nolan, 8"x10" palette knife oil painting

Many moons ago (no pun intended!), I visited my dear friend Missy in Newport, Rhode Island. We went to a golf club for dinner that had quite the view, very reflective as the sun descended over the water. This is my attempt to capture a sliver of time during that sundown. I like it. I hope you do, also. By the way, I do not play golf, have no ambition to do so, as I know how my right arm would hate me, it already does from painting!

"Lilac Skies, Full Moon and Mountains" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting

A return (again!) to the Lunar-tique series. I had a very difficult time capturing the colors of the sky while photographing this particular artwork but finally feel that they are representative of this piece. It's always hard to get exactly the right shades for the skies and incorporate other elements accurately but I didn't go for accuracy with this moon. I prefer the imagination!

Art by Oklahoma Abstract Contemporary Equine Artist Jonelle T. McCoy

"Perigee Moon" 36"x36"x1.5" textured acrylic- SOLD

September is nearly over, and what a busy month it was! Busy doesn't equate to painting time however though I did have a couple art related events going on.
The NY festival wasn't as I expected, I did enjoy meeting fellow equine artists however and talking to folks was fun and enjoyable. I was glad to have family there to support me and that made for great photo ops.
I entered 3 pieces in the OKC State Fair and did good- 2 first places and a third. In horse racing, that is good to be in the top three! I got a nice critique by one of the judges and that was a rare and welcomed treat.
On Sunday night I spent nearly 4 hours sitting in the front yard watching the perigee blood full moon total eclipse- that was a rare occurrence and I was thrilled to have clear skies to see it. It's fun to imagine what people thought back before science knew what was happening.
With the advent of October just days away, it's time to start thinking about the upcoming holidays and for many- the beginning of taking orders for my annual equine art calendar. I will announce that soon, and will send out a newsletter mentioning it. You can sign up by going to the home-newsletter sign up page on my website here
For me here in Oklahoma, this is the beginning of better weather for horseback riding. Feels good to not just paint these wonderful animals but to go out and enjoy the world from the back of one!

"Moonrise" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on gallery wrapped canvas

Several months ago I was contacted by a woman who had located my artworks on-line. She had looked for some time for an artist to fulfill her vision of a moon rising over mountains and she found me! Well, to be honest, I was a bit skeptical, as she informed me that she didn't want a lot of color in this painting. I wasn't sure I could go without a lot of color, as that is sort of my trademark, but I thought about it and decided to stretch my boundaries. We stayed in touch and gradually worked through quite the process, as it was also the largest painting I have done. It was thrilling to have this experience and you might have noticed, if you read my blogs, that I am still in the throes of being obsessed by moons rising over the horizon! Thank you, Deborah, this has been such a worthwhile and fun effort!

"Golden Moon" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting on linen panel

Another in my "Lunar"tique series, this is the golden moon we see in our Rocky Mountain skies on occasion. Of course, no two moonrises are the same and we are due for a full moon this weekend. Perhaps it will look something like this painting!
