"Cosmic Skies" by Karla Nolan, framed glass painting reverse stained cosmos universe moon stars cruciani astronomy modern contemporary art



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.
I painted this large framed painting on glass some time ago and wasn't happy with it but have grown fond of it -- the skies above us at night are so mysterious, I can only wonder if any of this painting is even slightly accurate!  Who knows?  Maybe an astronomer could corroborate the findings on my glass, but does it really matter?  We're just the little specks in the vast old universe, so why not take just a bit of artistic license here?  (The lower photo is of a close up of the painting.)

I have also 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.

Thanks for looking!
