"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.

Oil and Cold Wax Abstract Painting, "Beach Highway", by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Here is another attempt at using oil and cold wax medium. I am finding it is not that easy to master. There are wonderful effects, however, that are not achievable in other mediums.

"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.
