"Fossil Relics" Framed BY Carol Nelson Fine Art

This geologic abstract features closeup views of fossil relics. I was hoping to artistically suggest what would surprise a paleontologist in a dinosaur dig. These skeletons are raised from the surface bringing them to the viewer's attention. The spiral elements are from a collage paper I used that has embossed patterns.

Collage, Mixed Media Painting “MEADOWLAND” by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson

I love the work of Richard Diebenkorn. He often painted to what looked like aerial views of the landscape. Although this painting didn't start out that way, it ended up looking to me like an aerial view of farmland. Several collage papers were used to provide textures. This painting comes with a black floater frame.

Mixed Media Abstract Art "MONARCH FALLS" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

This painting evolved very quickly - I love it when that happens. I had a painting on a textured canvas that was not working, so I stopped trying to “fix it.” With new abandon, and a big brush, I just started layering color over the previous work. Very quickly, it seemed, this new composition came into view. I worked all day and evening on it. The next day I did some fine tweaking, and - voila! - a new painting was born.

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.

Vertical Art, Contemporary Mixed Media Painting "Along the Path" by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson

This is another mixed media piece in my SKINNY series. The panels are only 3.5 inches wide. They are made for those areas in the home that are too narrow for most work. I used natural materials such as live oak leaves, an aspen twig, and abalone shells, in addition to several metallic elements made from foil. Below you see closeup views of the top, middle, and bottom sections. 38"3.5" x1.5" Acrylic on Canvas-Available
