PRECIOUS METALS, 9108, metals and mixed media abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art, Colorado, USA



I love doing these mixed media geologic abstracts. This one has copper, pewter, and aluminum metals and gold and copper paints and foils. With all the shiny components, it appeals to my inner crow. That shiny little purple rectangle is purple colored aluminum foil I found in an art supply store and is made by a Japanese company.

LOVE IT.I showed it to my husband, seeking his suggestions for a title. His title was SOS, meaning Same Old S__t. Did I tell you he's not an abstract kind of guy? Even so, I thought that quite rude. After 16 years of marital harmony, I have developed a thick skin and his opinions are water off a duck. Quack, quack.

If you're interested in purchasing this painting, better hurry, because I'm shipping it off to my newest gallery, The Bradley Art Gallery, in Stoughton, WI. next week. For more about my abstract work, please see my website or email me at carolnelsonfineart@comcast.net.

  1. Carol, your second paragraph is hilarious!!! Works the same with my other half. I love the little spot of purple...complimentary tones just sing.

  3. Carol, I've followed you around the internet for a long, long time--almost stalking!!! I love, love your work and wish I could take one of your workshops and/or afford one of your pieces (I'm 74 on a tiny SS check). I paint, but you are my inspiration. Love the above entry. I think I'm married to your husband's clone. From one leather hide to another---keep up the good work. You are my muse.
