"Southern Relic" mixed media abstract rust painting by Carol Nelson


"Southern Relic"

When I was wandering around the French Quarter in New Orleans last month at the Golden training workshop, I kept an eye on the ground for treasures - you need to do watch out anyhow because the pavement is so uneven.  This old piece of metal was one of my finds.

To make more rusted patterns around the piece of metal, I applied iron paint over textured paper and molding paste.
