Abstract Painting, Mixed Media "Garden Window" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson

 




This is another in my experiments in oil and cold wax. I lay out my palette colors and add the wax medium to each pile. These colors are layered on using an old credit card or palette knife. Some of the texture is a textured piece of paper that is then painted over with the oil/wax mixture. There's also a little gauze, central in the background. Also visible in the upper right quadrant is some text from a paperback book. Finishing texture on the brightly colored areas is oil paint applied with a palette knife. The sides are black and white checkerboard pattern that is painted black, then gently lifted revealing some of the pattern.


This is a mixed media oil and cold wax collage. Going back to my favorite warm, vibrant palette. It arrives ready to hang.

Abstract Mixed Media Art, Contemporary Painting, “DESIGN IN TEXTURE AND WARMTH” by Florida Contemporary Artist Mary Ann Ziegler

 



A very textured piece with unconventional accents including altered Tyvek. This piece reminded me of what you might see if there was a shoreline in the desert. The colors reflect the rich warmth of a dry climate and the textures reflect the debris that might have been left after waves retreat.

Contemporary Painting, Mixed Media Art, “A STUDY IN BLUES AND TANS” by Florida Contemporary Artist Mary Ann Ziegler


Shapes fascinate me as do the images on quilts. Anything done in fabric can be reproduced in paper and paint. This patchwork in color, size, and texture is a testimonial to those that work in these mediums.

Mixed Media Abstract Painting "MM102, 051421" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

This mixed media abstract is part of a series I'm doing with no preset expectations. I'm using paint and mixed media papers for an intuitive painting experience. This is what artists, particularly abstract artist, do when they are experimenting and letting things flow and develop on their own. Some experiments are winners, others not so much! I like this one. It's ready to frame in a standard 12x12 frame.
