"GRAND CANYON 2," daily painter geologic abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"GRAND CANYON 2"

detail


original version

This painting (the lower version), was hanging around my studio for a couple years.  It was in a gallery for a while, and in a couple outdoor art shows.  Nobody shared my vision of a geologic abstract done with a relatively limited palette, so I jazzed it up with some purple, blue and turquoise.

I think the composition is good, so it was worth exploring more color options with this one.  For more information about this 36x36 acrylic abstract, click here to go to my website.

OMG! Carol, the original version was my all time favorite, among the geo-abstracts. I miss it now. Too bad it is gone.... for the better I hope
