"Rocky Mountain Dusk" by Karla Nolan unframed palette knife oil painting




This is a larger painting, 16"x20" unframed.  It is the quintessential Rocky Mountain scene, so typically Colorado.  If you want to get an idea of what it is like to live near the mountains, just look at this painting, I think you'll get the hang of it!  It really can be dramatic as the last rays of the sun appear over the forthcoming mountain silhouette.

"Daybreak!", by Karla Nolan, 18"x24" unframed palette knife oil painting


I love painting the skies.  I don't like early morning, however, and have missed many a pretty dawn here in Colorado.  Silhouettes of bushes and trees have always intrigued me.  So I thought I'd bite the bullet and put together an early morning scene.  Maybe I'll reconsider and start rising earlier.  (I doubt it!)

"I Want to Live Here!" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting




Colorado is my favorite state in this country.  Not only was I born here but I plan to die here.  Fort Collins, here in the northern part of the state, is my "little slice of paradise".  Life here is good.  We have the plains, the high prairie, the mountains, the rugged and rocky terrain of the western part of the state, also.  I feel very fortunate.  The paintings says it all.

Thanks for viewing my art!  Greetings from Fort Collins, Colorado

"Neighbors" by Kate Dardine (sold)

This simple composition is a reminder of a way of life that is vanishing in Colorado; the vast tall grass prairies and the independence of farmers and ranchers whose closest neighbor is a dot on the horizon.

The original 20x20 oil is sold, but high quality fine art giclée prints are available through Art For Conservation, an on-line gallery that donates a portion of all proceeds to conservation causes.

To see more of my original artwork, please visit www.KateDardine.com.

Kate Dardine is a daily abstract painter from Colorado, USA
