Daily Abstract Painting, "Feeling My Way", 12x12"

Moving into a new area of work is always both exciting and frustrating.  When I sit down to try an abstract, I feel like I am jumping off a cliff.

On this piece I used acrylics, oils and ink.  I also included some cheesecloth for texture.

I am finding that although abstract looks very simple, and free, it requires much planning.

Have a great weekend and thank you for viewing.

Daily Painting | Abstract Painting | Small Oil Painting | Wishful Thinking by Carol Schiff | 14x11" SOLD

Well, it has happened again.........I had the urge to try my hand at abstract again.

SOLD

I was determined to do a mixed media  abstract, get out my many Golden mediums, and just have a fun day playing.  Kind of like kindergarten.  Why did I think that?

Don't I know that mixed media abstract is one of the most stressful things I can try?  Why don't I remember that my mind goes blank, that I'm not one of those people that can stand in front of a blank canvas and pick up a brush without a plan?

Why do I always think, this time it will be different?

Well it wasn't.  I worked at least 4, maybe 5 hours with my Golden mediums, getting the texture just right, carefully choosing the acrylic colors, blah, blah, blah.  It was a mess.

The next day, I sanded down as much as I could,  turned to my beloved oils, and ended up with this result.  Something I can live with.  Something that might give me a tad more confidence the next time I decide to do an abstract.  Something that I really kind of ........ like.  NEVER GIVE UP!!

Day 7 - 25 Days Commission Challenge and I have been so overwhelmed at the support. I challenged myself and my friends to help me commission 25 paintings in 25 days. It's Day 7 and I have sold/commissioned 7 paintings.

I am working on this Sunset pictured above for a dear childhood friend. It's an honor to share my work with so many. The collector above wrote a note to me saying "Hope you are enjoying your gift". What a lovely way to think about art. It is something we should enjoy and I am truly full of joy.

Be blessed,
Kristye

"Edge of Red" mixed media abstract trees by Colorado Contemporary Artist Carol Nelson

Edge of Red, 24x56 inch diptych

I know I just posted this a few days ago, but in this view, the two canvases are reversed, with the 24x36 on the left, and the 24x20 on the right.  I think I like it better this way.

Oh, and I added one more tree - can you find it?

"Study in Blue" by Terry Honstead

This is a 24 x 18 mixed media piece that is mostly acrylic.  I added several blues and mixed them with whites and poured and let them mix again on the board.  This was a fun way to start a painting.  When I was satisfied with that, I added darks and whites where I thought it needed.  I was going to add some collage to it at this point, but I liked it too much the way it is now, so I decided to leave it the way it was.  If you would like to see more of my work or purchase a print, you can find them at :  terry-honstead.artistwebsites.com/  or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net.

"FOREVER BLUE" mixed media blue hydrangea painting by Carol Nelson

Forever Blue

I'm out of my comfort zone of earth tones with this one.  I had a terrible time trying to adjust the color.  My camera is not good at picking up mauve.  Some of the pinks are a little too vibrant, but you get the idea.

I hope you can see all the texture in the detail shot.  Once again, I used painted Viva paper towels for many of the petals.  I love how it looks like I cut up canvas and added it to the painting.

"BLUE NOTES" 12052, mixed media musical collage by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Blue Notes

I know I ignore the blues in my palette most of the time.  So thought I'd use them ALL:  cyan, manganese, Prussian, phthalo turquoise, and Paynes gray.
Lots of fun papers were added in layers.  For more information, please click here to go to my website.

"CELEBRATION OF BLUE", mixed media modular blue abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Celebration of Blue

While I was looking through a stash of stored masterpieces, I came across this mixed media modular abstract. This is one of my rare ventures into the cool side of the palette for all the Blue People out there. You know who you are.

You can see that there's lots of texture and metals in this piece. For more information about this painting, click here to go to my website.
