"RED CLIFF" 11011, daily painter aluminum abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"RED CLIFF"














I couldn't photograph this painting accurately because of the aluminum substrate.  I painted it using transparent glazes of acrylic paint, resulting in amazing depth of color.
The photograph does not show how the light dances around on the surface.

This painting is going to be my part of a dual entry in a show called "Duets."  My partner in this project is Colorado photographer Ron Beller.  This is the photograph I worked with.













As you can see, I selected only a small portion of Ron's beautiful photo for my painting.  I thought my painting would turn out more abstracted than it did.  It's actually a pretty fair representation of the rocks.
