"Find The Squirrel" Contemporary Modern Abstract Painting By Donna Holdsworth

This painting is done on 11x14 textured stretched canvas.  After the first layer of paint, my husband found a squirrel hidden in the painting.  Hence the name.  Amazing what two old married people will do to amuse themselves!  Link:  Donna Holdsworth Art.  Thank you!

A Contemporary Stylized Floral Abstract Painting

The Serenity of Flowers
24 X 36 oil, texture and acrylic on canvas

This was a pleasure to paint.  I love the undulating shapes, the blending of the colors and especially the diffused edges.  I also like to add graphite ( in this one, just a little) for detail.  Flowers and yet an abstract.

"CELEBRATION" 11020 daily painter mixed media collage © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"CELEBRATION"

This is my demo piece from the second Littleton, CO, Metals and Mixed Media Workshop I gave over the weekend. This piece is very three dimensional because the texture on the top part is made from cedar bedding that you would buy at the pet store for your pet hamster or gerbil. While you're at the pet store, pick up some kitty litter because that makes great texture too.

The normal color of the cedar bedding is reddish brown and cream. I enhanced that a bit. There is also some black sand sprinkled in there and some combusted red foil. The wavy curly Q line is dimensional fabric paint by Tulip. Click on the image for a close up view.

Once again, the workshop was a really fantastic experience, judging from the reactions I received from the artists in attendance. We experimented with ironing tyvek, torching metals, drilling holes for nails and brads, epoxy resin application, and using all kinds of unique and fabulous materials.

Most of the artists were experienced primarily with watercolors, so the versatility of acrylic paints, along with all the cool effects and unusual materials I introduced, really got their creative juices flowing.

"DESERT GLOW" 11019 daily painter mixed media abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art


This 6x6 inch abstract was a demo in one of my recent workshops. It features painted foils and crushed shells. I think it's a fun piece and demonstrates the appeal of a very limited palette.

The colors are extremely deep and lush because of a crystal clear coating of epoxy resin over the whole painting. For more information, click here to go to my website.

ORIGINAL MIXED MEDIA TROPICAL GARDEN ART WORK BY COLLEEN SANCHEZ

DILLENIA PLANT

Original mixed media contemporary tropical artwork by Colleen Sanchez
10 x 13 Graphite, artist colored pencil, conte on Stonehenge

AVAILABLE

Lately I've renewed my love for black and white art and photography, and interestingly enough one of the group art blogs I belong to posted a challenge for November - create a piece in black and white with one color object. This is a challenge made to order for me, it brought back so many memories of the hours I spent drawing with graphite and or pen and ink when I was a teen. This picture was very time consuming but absolutely a labor of love.

First I played with some of my photos from Ho'omaluhia Gardens, here in Hawaii and came up with this composition. Next I did a very loose outline of the major shapes, lightly toned a few areas with graphite saving my whites and then just focused on shape and value. The piece is really done in a more classic style with many layers built up to get the deeper values. I used a little conte to get some of the darks and of course a variety of artist colors to do the seed pods.

The Dillenia plant originates from tropical rain forests mainly in Asia. It has a lovely yellow bloom that precedes the pods. I thought the pods were so interesting though, that I wanted to portray them rather than the flower. Follow the link to find out more about this fantastic park.

I was looking through some previous floral posts after a client inquired about a floral and I found this and liked it all over again; however, I see when I posted it before I misspelled Ocher.. so here it is if you want to see the original post and I took the photo over for a better image. See if you agree, HERE is the previous post, misspelled Ocher and all.

"DIAMOND MINE" 11017 mixed media geologic abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"DIAMOND MINE"

The composition for this geologic abstract is cruciform - the design I choose most frequently. You can see the large amount of texture on this piece - especially the little raised cubes which have silver leaf on top of them. I meticulously added the silver leaf adhesive with a small applicator to each cube.


This painting has a lot of metallic paint, giving it a soft glow that doesn't photograph very well. For purchase information, click here to go to my website.

TI LEAF STUDY II
by Colleen Sanchez

Original contemporary impressionist style painting
10 x 14 Acrylic on Cloth
GIFTED


The Ti leaf, especially the red ones really interest me. There are so many color variations in the leaves depending on the light they are in at certain times of the day. I decided to experiment with something similar, but also a little different from the watercolor on paper I did a few weeks ago. This one is done on cloth using liquid acrylics. I used a soy wax resist with 3 layers to complete. I love the more impressionistic result that I ended up with.

"POTPOURRI," 11016, mixed media collage © Carol Nelson Fine Art


This painting is a collection of found objects, art papers, leather,  aluminum, brads, nails, and acrylic paints. These collages are a lot of  fun to make and are one of the most popular things I teach artists about in my workshops.

I always encourage artists to use a limited palette because with so many different texture materials, having all the colors closely coordinated has a unifying effect on the final piece.
