Abstract Collage, Faces, Mixed Media Abstract Painting, Contemporary Art, Expressionism, “Your Secrets Are Safe With Me” by Contemporary Artist Tracy Lupanow

'The sweetest smiles hold the darkest secrets" 
- Sara Shepard

As a mixed media artist I collect a lot of ephemera to use in my creations. The collage elements in this painting are from an old yellowing newspaper. I was drawn to the retro look and the expression of the face, which I found to be very intriguing! Painted with many layers of acrylic, wax pencil, and found papers. Mounted in a white mat ready to frame.

"SPRING HAS SPRUNG" 12038, mixed media collage poppy flowers © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Spring Has Sprung

This is another in my latest kick of collage painting with torn papers.  I really like the variety of color this method creates.

Look at the individual petals and notice the numerous shades of color each one has.  It's because that particular piece of torn paper had those random colors in it.

I would never come up with that color variation on my own using a brush.  Maybe that's the secret to the appeal of these paintings.

I'm still trying to figure out why these are so appealing.

"REVERIE" 12036, mixed media collage portrait © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Reverie

This portrait is an experiment using patterned paper.  I have been looking at the work of Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson, Florian Nicolle, and Derek Gores.  Each one of these fantastic artists uses collaged papers in their work.

I am fascinated by the look of printed letters and patterns, especially when applied to human faces or animals.  Is is because we live in such an information-driven age?

We are bombarded daily with thousands of words and images.  I've seen many contemporary artists who have used numbers, letters, and printed patterns as a design element in their paintings.  I like the effect.

My portrait series, where all the portraits were done in vibrant fauvist style, was also a little off the beaten track in it's approach. This painting is one of my first attempts at trying collage in portraiture.

"POTPOURRI," 11016, mixed media collage © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"POTPOURRI 1"

POTPOURRI detail

                           

This painting is a collection of found objects, art papers, leather,  aluminum, brads, nails, and acrylic paints.  These collages are a lot of  fun to make and are one of the most popular things I teach artists  about in my workshops.

I always encourage artists to use a limited palette because with so many different texture materials, having all the colors closely coordinated has a unifying effect on the final piece.

Once In a Blue Moon by Kay Wyne

Once In a Blue Moon - SOLD!

16" x 20" Gallery Wrap Canvas

Contemporary Oil Painting

Once in a Blue Moon ... a phrase that we have all heard. This was a topic of conversation in the Wyne house lately....it is a common way of saying not very often, but what exactly is a Blue Moon? It is the second Full Moon to occur in a single calendar month. That occurred last December, when we had a Full Moon on the 2nd and the 31st. According to the experts, there will be 41 months that have two Full Moons in every century, so you could say that once in a Blue Moon actually means once every two-and-a-half years.

Once in a Blue Moon is also a title for lyrics to songs....like the Van Morrison song....

Once in a blue moon

Something good comes along

Once in a blue moon

Everything's not going wrong

When you get weary

Beating on the same old gong

Once in a blue moon

Someone like you comes along

When I started the above painting, I had a collage look going, starting with the words, Once in a Blue Moon painted on the canvas several times. If you look closely you can see them under the layers of paint. You can also see two images of horses, geometric figures and layers of paint along with oil crayons. There is alot of movement in the painting and the eye jumps from one shape to the next shape. This contemporary abstract oil painting is now signed and completed after weeks on the easel. It is on a gallery wrap canvas, so no frame is needed. The collector who now owns this painting lives in Connecticut. Thanks for viewing this blog!

Leaf Collage Abstract Painting - Daily Warmups by Melody Cleary, Oregon Artist

I love fossil leaves. I do these mini collages by recycling old works on paper, applying glazes of color, and finally fusing on a leaf with gloss medium/varnish. I apply these onto 5x7 greeting cards that have this quote printed on them...'the day I see a leaf is a marvel of a day'. Sure does express my love of leaves.

Nice for a small frame, too. Each is unique.
