Oversized Geologic Abstract Painting, "Seductive Sediment" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Seductive Sediment", 60 x 40, by Carol Nelson

This painting is taller than I am, so it was a bit of a struggle for me to handle.  I found the inspiration for this painting in a slab of rock that I purchased at a gem and mineral show.
The pattern and colors were so bold, I just knew I had to paint it.

What you can't see very well in the photographs are the heavy texture, the sparkling glass and mica chips, even the 50,000 year old fossilized fish.

Mixed Media Geologic Abstract "Petroglyphs", © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Petroglyphs" , 24 x 18, by Carol Nelson

This mixed media piece is done in a neutral palette. The earthy brown tones warm up a generally cool gray, black and white palette. I started the painting by layering three kinds of paper on the canvas: brown packing paper, red rosin paper, and textured wallpaper.

Then I added some premixed stucco repair (found in the paint department at Home Depot). I was interested in how the three different papers and the texture medium would absorb the paint. Sometimes you are surprised how a single swish of paint can look so different depending on the absorption of the substrate.

"Boulder Field", geologic abstract painting © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Both of these geologic abstracts feature the same color palette.  It is not natural for me to paint in these soft colors, so it is a good exercise to do so.  Boulder Field is a collage with many different papers, heavy. body and fluid acrylics on a canvas board.  Chalk Cliff is painted with fluid acrylics on watercolor paper, and mounted on a cradled wood panel.

"Intersection", 20x20", acrylic

This is another in my Geologic Abstract series.  I was going for concentrated color on a neutral background.  I think this painting is a good example of that.

If you're interested in learning more about my Geologic Abstracts, I have an online workshop that shows my process from beginning to completed painting.  See my Teachable site:

Oversized Geologic Abstract Painting, "Seductive Sediment" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Seductive Sediment", 60 x 40, by Carol Nelson

This painting is taller than I am, so it was a bit of a struggle for me to handle.  I found the inspiration for this painting in a slab of rock that I purchased at a gem and mineral show.
The pattern and colors were so bold, I just knew I had to paint it.

What you can't see very well in the photographs are the heavy texture, the sparkling glass and mica chips, even the 50,000 year old fossilized fish.
