Mixed Media Abstract Painting "Marrakech Market" by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson

This totem is another in my Skinny Series. It is a mixed media collage on panel, with a backing board that makes it stand out from the wall about an inch. The variety of colors and texture reminds one of a busy marketplace. When I brought it up from my basement studio, I was amazed at how the color palette matched the palette of a previous floral painting I had done some years ago 36"x3.5" x 1" Mixed Media on Panel/Available HERE

Abstract Art, Contemporary Painting, Collage,“WESTERN BROWNS AND A MESSAGE” by Florida Contemporary Artist Mary Ann Ziegler

While there is definitely an outdoors southwest feel to this mixed media abstract, there are also words and letters that tame the piece and bring us back to the literary importance of words even in the abstract world.

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.

Abstract Art, Mixed Media Painting “Billboard 8” by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson

This painting is part of a series based on my concept of tattered billboards having remnants of previous images blowing in the wind. Collage is one of my favorite things to do in the studio. All the papers used in this painting were created or altered by the artist.

This painting is a diptych on two canvases to be hung without framing.

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.

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.
