"Summer Love" mixed media tree painting by Carol Nelson

This is the result of my playing around with crackle paste.  I started this painting last week in my workshop in North Carolina.  This week I've been playing with the colors.

These warm tones of coral, violet, and turquoise remind me of summer memories.  Maybe this palette is an escape from the drab winter palette that is finally beginning to brighten up in Colorado.

"Fall Festival" contemporary landscape painting by mixed media artist Terry Honstead

I finished it!  I am pretty happy with how it turned out.  I feel that this 30 x 40 landscape painting is bright and colorful and fun which is exactly what I was going for!  I put some shading in today by the bottom of the red layer and to push the front trees closer to the front while pushing the other tress back. I also added some red to the ground and more tree branches.  If you are interested in purchasing this original or as a print, you can go to:  http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/terry-honstead.html or email me at:  honstead@paulbunyan.net.
