"Make a Wish" mixed media abstract painting by Carol Nelson

"Make a Wish" 10x4 inch abstract by Carol Nelson

This is another demo piece I did for students in my studio class.
The center section is actually one of my foam plate abstracts, but when I added it to the textured substrate board, it looked like a tree to me.

I did a controlled resin pour on the center, so it is shiny and has wonderful depth of colors.  The upper and lower sections are textured with a matte finish.

Acrylic Abstracts by Mickey Bond

Runes: Mesa Noon Diptych by Mickey Bond, acrylic on canvas, 48 x 60 inches. 

My "Runes" series features organic shapes made by embedding stones, rocks and gravel in paint and acrylic media.  Removing the rocks and stones leaves behind an evocative pattern of marks and outlines.

"Tapestry" mixed media contemporary abstract by Carol Nelson

Tapestry

with frame

I love how this painting turned out.  It has so many different materials in it - a virtual mixed media smorgasbord (copper, aluminum, pewter, crackle paste, stucco mix, etc.)

Want to know a little secret about this painting?  It's a redo.

I did the first version (above) in 2009.  My goal then was to incorporate a number of metals in an analogous color scheme abstract.  I guess it was so analogous that it was boring.  So I added more texture and beefed up the contrast - does that sound familiar?

"URBAN VIBE" mixed media rusted iron abstract by Carol Nelson

Urban Vibe

While my student was here working in my studio, I was working right along side her.  This is one of the pieces I created while she was here.



I was showing her how to create and combine such elements as embossed aluminum foil, hand made gold textured paper, mica
flakes, and copper tacks.  The painting is floated on a 9x9 black wood frame and arrives ready to hang.

"WHEELS KEEP ON TURNIN'" mixed media abstract with rusted iron paint by Carol Nelson

Wheels Keep on Turnin'

This was a little demo piece I did for my Park Hill Art Club class.  I was demonstrating rusted iron paint and also emobssed aluminum foil.



The photo doesn't show it, but the center part with the embossed

foil is very shiny and beautiful.  The dark spots in the upper right are mica flakes that look alternately dark or shiny depending on how the light hits them.

"RUSTIC COLLECTION" 12080, mixed media abstact rust painting by Carol Nelson

Rustic Collection

detail

This painting has a variety of textured collage materials.  The part I'm most excited about is the rusty area shown above in the detail photo.

It is actual rust that was activated by painting copper sulfate solution on a paint containing iron filings.  After a little while, the dark gray iron paint begins to rust - a very beautiful , if unpredictable, look.

"Two Twelve" mixed media abstact by Carol Nelson

Two Twelve

detail

This is the second in my numbers series - mixed media abstracts that have a number component.  In this case the number is 2-12, which is the birthday of one of my daughters.  This painting started out as an unsuccessful collage that I deconstructed (that means I started tearing pieces off of it).

Usually, deconstruction is a last resort done when I can't get a mixed media piece to come together.  It's something I do when I know my actions could ruin the painting - but since the painting wasn't working out, I'm really not ruining anything.  Midway through the deconstruction, I thought a new potential painting was starting to show.  Actually, some of my most successful paintings have gone through a deconstruction phase.

You will notice several different materials in this piece including foam plate, tyvek, and several weights of paper, including some that I sprayed with Rustoleum Hammered Copper.  I love that spray paint and the very cool look it has.

"Gemstone 9" 12071, mixed media abstract by Carol Nelson

Gemstone 9

This is the latest in my Gemstone series.  I did something a little different with this one.  The 8x6 painting is mounted on a black 10x8 board and framed with a black wood frame, for a "floating" presentation.

"Gemstone 8" 12070, mixed media abstract by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Gemstone 8

This is another demo painting I did for a private one day workshop I held this week.  I wish my studio could hold more students - three is about maximum capacity.

I'm getting things ready for this weekend's workshop up at Wrenn Boulton's studio on top of Squaw Mountain.  The group has been emailing each other, arranging carpools, planning dinners, etc.

I know it's going to be a great time and an enthusiastic group.

"GEMSTONE 7" mixed media abstract landscape by Carol Nelson

Gemstone 7

This is the latest in my Gemstone series.  I painted it as a demo for the recent workshop I did in Ouray, CO.



It is a gift for a collector of mine who did me a huge favor that I am not allowed to talk about until August 1st.  (Can't wait to tell you).  All I can say now is that it has something to do with the the painting you see below.

Color Quad, 24x24 quadtych

       





Shootings in Aurora, CO



Thanks to so many of you who inquired about the safety of me and my family.  Fortunately, none of us were at that theater, which is only 5 miles from my house, the other night.

Senseless tragedies such as this, makes us more aware of how precious is every day with our loved ones.

"GEMSTONE 6" 12066, mini abstract by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Gemstone 6

This painting is another in my popular Gemstone Series.  I will be teaching this technique at my workshop on Ouray County, Colorado, this coming weekend.

Flaming Gorge, 12066, contemporary mixed media abstract by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Flaming Gorge

This painting has a strong geologic feel to it, even though it is abstract.  I started out with a layer of metal leaf .  I'm sorry it's so hard to see the shine of the metal leaf in a photograph.

Then I painted several transparent and opaque layers, using water misting to get the paint to flow and a stream of hot air from a hair dryer to somewhat direct the flow.  Reminded me of herding cats (not that I've ever done that.)
