KM3049 Twilight's Silence by Colorado artist Kit Hevron Mahoney (16x12, oil, landscape,twilight, late day sunset)

My painting life has suddenly gotten busy, the name of the game in the art business. This is another study in simplified landscapes that I painted recently. Playing with simplification in my painting process is an ongoing journey for my artistic curiosity. I can't wait to get back to studying more of my landscape imagery. 16”x 12” original acrylic on stretched canvas, unframed $1300+$20 shipping and handling See more paintings on my blog Visit my website Daily Painters of Colorado

"Vibrance" by Karla Nolan, unframed palette knife oil painting





Another Colorado Rocky Mountain sunset, this with particularly vibrant colors, hence the name! This one is big enough, once framed, for a fireplace mantel!  More of my "I Love Colorado!" series.

"Twilight Over the Rocky Mountains" by Karla Nolan, miniature unframed palette knife oil painting




 A little gem of a painting, miniature, actually, this is to me the quintessential Rocky Mountain/Colorado sunset.  I have always been struck at how the mountains are a dark silhouette while the remains of the sun and the successive colors over that, then the various blues of the skies are layered.  I love Colorado!

"Moonlight Mountain Triptych" by Karla Nolan, framed painting on glass





Quite a task, this painting on glass.  It took forever to compose and then execute but I'm very satisfied, happy, with the results.  The photos don't do it just but then this is the sort of artwork best seen in person, I guess.

"Busy Night Skies" by Karla Nolan, 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....

"Ah, Venezia!" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting, italy, venice, sunset



I guess Italy must be on my mind these days, having recently posted a Tuscan poppy fields and now a sunset in Venice.  Italy is one of the most wonderful places on the planet, I have had the best times there with the delicious food, wonderful wines, and lively and enchanting people.  Venice is a true gem, the canals and sights are mind boggling.  Do go there if you can!

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




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, weather, affordable, night



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!

"Orange Electricity" by Karla Nolan, palette knife oil painting, lightning, skies, night, weather, affordable


Sometimes I find it difficult to blog my artworks as frequently as I do on the internet.  The last thing I want to do is bore anyone or become too predictable about what I paint.  So I try to jumble it up a bit, sometimes putting up flowers, skies, travel memories.  I have been chomping at the bit to show you this little dandy, honestly!  Some of the most enjoyable paintings I have worked on come from my imagination, some of which is based upon research of the subject matter at hand (or palette knife!), some of it based upon prior observation, especially anything involving the skies.  I hope you like this as much as I do, it was a blast to paint!
