Geologic Abstract Painting "Stepping Out 2" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art
This mixed media painting is somewhat of an unstructured geologic abstract with a lot of texture. I like the very dramatic colors and value shifts from black to white. The design wraps around the sides.
The painting looks good in either a horizontal or vertical presentation.
17"x23"x1.5" Mixed Media on Canvas-Available

Mixed Media Vertical Painting "A Walk in the Woods III" by Carol Nelson
15 x 6 x 1 mixed media on Panel
$275
Available HERE
This little collage (15"x6") was just me messing around in my studio. I call it Walk in the Woods III. (Click to see whole painting).
When I was growing up, we had a cabin on a lake (almost everyone had a cabin on a lake in Minnesota). My mom and I would often take a walk around the lake - maybe 2 miles. There was barely a path in some areas, swampy in areas, a gravel road in others, and heavily wooded. I remember the smell of damp earth, mosses, mushrooms, ferns, butterflies, birds, ducks, and all manner of green plants.
This collection of collage materials from my stash brings to mind some of those cabin memories.

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.

"Poppy Power" Mixed Media Vertical Floral Painting by Carol Nelson Fine Art
I started this painting as a collage with several pieces of colored paper glued in place on the wood panel. Somewhere along the way, some poppy forms appeared. I painted in more of them to make a pleasing composition. Some of the existing papers were painted over, but I could still see the edges of these papers, so I decided to emphasize these edges with black lines. That's why the resulting painting has a feeling of stained glass.
Did you know I used to have a stained-glass studio? I don't do stained-glass anymore, but I still consider it one of the most beautiful mediums. Maybe that art form lingers in my creative subconscious because black lines appear in a lot of my work.

Oil and Cold Wax Abstract Painting, "Beach Highway", by Carol Nelson Fine Art
Here is another attempt at using oil and cold wax medium. I am finding it is not that easy to master. There are wonderful effects, however, that are not achievable in other mediums.

Sedona Sky is another in my Skinny series. This is the first one with a horizontal presentation.
The rock forms were sculpted with plaster of Paris. The board on the back makes the painting stand out from the wall.
