Abstract Art, Mixed Media Painting “Cloud Kiss” by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson

I am wondering why this painting received so many "likes" on Facebook. The neutral palette? The various textures? The cruciform design pattern? The juxtaposition of hard and soft edges? The full range of values?

I knew it was a winner as soon as I finished it. All the commotion on my Facebook page affirms that.

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.

Textured Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "ARROYO," by Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

This is painting is a diptych - two panels EACH measuring 36 inches tall by 12 inches wide. The original painting is sold, but this reproduction has been EMBELLISHED by me with textural "stones" that I create and paint. There are also shell fragments attached to the surface. The result is a heavily textured reproduction very similar to the original.

Mixed Media Acrylic Abstract, "Creative Floating" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Creative Floating" , 24x18 inches, by Carol Nelson

This painting features a textured surface on which a limited palette of colors were floated and allowed to mingle in a random fashion. The symbols in the lower left are actually the printed letters of the word CREATE. They are cut up and arranged in an abstract design.

Inspiration for this painting came from a new palette I'm working with in my kitchen redesign.

These Golden colors are Van Dyke brown, black, white, Titan Buff fluid acrylic, and Sepia high flow acrylic. Prior to adding paint, the surface was textured using Alex Flex flexible spackling from Home Depot. The texture influences some of the paint flow in unexpected ways.

"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.
