Terra Firma, 9072, mixed media abstract by Carol Nelson, Colorado, USA




This painting has a geologic feel to it, as many of my abstracts do. I achieved the interesting textural passages by using some prepared Tyvek paper (see earlier posts about the use of Tyvek).

Earth tones are a natural palette for me and I never tire of raw sienna, raw umber and copper accents. There is a little anthraquinone blue in this piece too. I like using Golden fluid acrylics and Modern Masters metallic paints.
