Colossal News from Carol Nelson Fine Art

This is my latest newsletter:

Hello subscribers and art lovers,

"Colossal News" sounds like hyperbole, but I really

DO have some exciting news to share.  First of all,

my grandson, Ryan Thomas Dawe, was born on July 6th. 

He came a little early (as I predicted in my last

newsletter,) but he's been home for a couple of

weeks now, and is doing very well.

 

Here he is with his mom, my daughter Suzanne, and me.

Now, on a more artsy subject, I am so pleased to

announce that I have been chosen to be one of 15

artists from around the country for the

Golden Artist Colors "Art Educators Program." 

             Woo Hoo!!!!!

This means that,in October,I will go to New Orleans

for a week of training.  We will learn everything

about Golden's myriad acrylic mediums and paints. 

After completing the training, I will be an "expert"

in all things acrylic.

I have been using Golden paints for a long time, but

they are always developing new products, many of

which I have not even tried.  I'm sure this newly

acquired knowledge is bound to have an effect on how

and what I paint....stay tuned!

in particular, was great because I sold a number of

large pieces.

Here's just a few that found new homes:

On August 25, don't miss the AFFORDABLE ARTS FESTIVAL

at Arapahoe Community College.  ALL the art in this

show is priced at $100 or less, so you can afford

everything!  I will have some beautiful reproductions

there, as well as a selection of original works.

   

Currently, I'm part of a group show at Rembrandt Yard

Gallery in Boulder.  I have a number of larger pieces

at that gorgeous venue, including:

on one individual attention. It's still not too late

My most recent painting:

  

 "Edge of the Forest" 30 X 24.  This painting is a

study in texture.  I wish you could see it better

in the photo.

Private Instruction

I recently had two students from California, one

from Kansas, and one from Costa Rica.  You could

join me in my studio, too, if you want to fast

track to learning mixed media.

Send me an email if you're interested.

Tip of the Day

If you have an Android smart phone, you might like

the free app "Out of Milk".  It's a grocery list you

keep on your phone.  How many times have I gone

to the store and forgot something?  Not anymore.

Hope you are having a great summer.
