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.

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.

Contemporary Painting, Mixed Media Art, “WHAT IS NEXT” by Florida Contemporary Artist Mary Ann Ziegler

 


As I sat waiting for the next headline in the newspaper, I saw the information as a black hole sucking our hearts out of us- the piece reflects the helplessness that the individual can feel in light of the sadness out there-

Abstract Painting, Mixed Media Art, “SOUTHWEST ARTIFACTS” by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

Add about 1.25" on each side for framed dimensions.

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.

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

Mixed Media Abstract Painting "Badlands 2" by Colorado Artist Carol Nelson


This geologic abstract suggests a desert or arid landscape with small trickles of water. The canvas surface is heavily textured in many areas. I love finishing paintings with line details as seen here. Not the right size/color for your needs? I can do something in this style in a size that works for you. Shoot me an email (carolnelsonfineart@gmail.com) to discuss.
