"Breathe", Original Abstract Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Breathe"




This is a small, original mixed media/abstract piece that I just completed.  These abstract works cause me to stretch and reach beyond my comfort zone, which I think is a good thing.  I am still learning and growing within this style, but I love it so much.

This painting is available.  It is an 8 X 8, mounted on a 1.5" deep cradle board.  Feel free to contact me at saltlightwatercolors@yahoo.com with any questions or comments.

"Undone", Original Mixed Media Painting by Colorado Artist, Donna L. Martin

"Undone"







This is a little abstract, mixed media piece titled, "Undone".  It was created on watercolor paper and then mounted to an  8 X 8 cradle board.  It features text from vintage books, rusted cloth, and thin wire attached with small stitching.  I also used coffee grounds to create a rich color and texture in the background and used various elements, such as sticks and twigs, to make marks.  

This piece is available.  Currently, it is being shown up at the Manitou Springs Art Center.  I would love to have you stop by and take a look!  Please message me with comments or if you would like further information.

Mixed Media Painting, Abstract Art, "Gold Rush" by Carol Schiff, 10x10x.75" SOLD

I was feeling the need to get abstract again and wanted to experiment with some gold leaf I had in my bag of tricks.

Purchase here
SOLD

I have to say I had lots of fun with this piece.  I wanted to keep the colors fairly neutral....black, white, gray, rust.  I had a piece of watercolor paper that had already been treated with a rusting technique, so the plan was to let some of that background show through.  I also wanted to incorporate that gold leaf.  I worked with a palette knife to get plenty of texture.  All in all, I had a great time!  Kind of like making mud patties when you were six....that same feeling. :)

This contemporary abstract painting is on a heavily textured stretched canvas. 
I used a cross (one of my favorites) composition and split complementary colors of blue, purple and orange to achieve a nice glow. I painted with a knife to get even more texture and very subtle color changes.

I was always fairly mystified about the process of painting an abstract, but I am finding that it is much like any other artwork.  You must have a composition, a point of interest,  color interaction and contrast.

completed August, 2013

This was created after a long day of painting, and the light lemon yellow background color on the panel lead me to painting an abstract that's reminiscent of high meadow grasses.  It's one of my recent favorites!

Woman With Macaw's

 12"x16"

175.00 + 10.00 shipping
 
 
This is an abstract linear oil painting of a woman holding two tropical Macaws. It’s a small painting and similar to “Woman With Fruit And Fish”.
 Macaws are vividly colored parrots found in Mexico, Central America, South America, and formerly the Caribbean.
These formidable birds have been popularly kept as pets for decades with records of the"Green Winged Macaw” having been kept as long ago as the turn of the 17th century or earlier .I guess a classical example is the one armed pirate holding a Macaw.
Most Macaw species are found in tropical rainforests along waterways or in Palm swamp forests. They nest in tree cavities and feed on the seeds found in the canopy of trees.
 
You can purchase the painting here or on my website
