Dream Remnants

detail

This painting is exciting (to me).  I love the color harmony. It's a new technique I discovered by accident - I'm always experimenting you know. Usually I'm very open about my techniques, but I'm going to be stingy about this one.

I might present it to my workshop artists.  Right now I'm too enthralled with it to share.

I noticed that on my iPad, the image at the top of this post looked too dark. Above is a lighter version.  Variations in monitors makes it hard to judge how much light/dark to have on the photo, especially on a painting done with metallic paints.

All That Jazz

This is another of my mini abstracts featuring a section of a foam plate palette remnant.   Since the central square is color left on my palette, it often leads to unusual color combinations.

There's a touch of pink that is a mystery because I don't know where it came from.  I am not a fan of pink, but it works in this composition.

Headlines

detail

I am excited about this piece.  I consider it a keystone painting, in that I have never successfully done anything quite like this before. It could signal a new direction I may want to pursue.

It does not fit into my current series of geologic abstracts or forest abstracts.  It is totally nonrepresentational. 

I would say it is a celebration of texture, somewhat muted color, and composition.  Creating a painting like this somewhat like a Japanese Zen garden, where every stone, every plant, is carefully placed to create a harmonious environment.

As I worked on this painting, it was a matter of placing the various patterns and texture elements, then building up layers until it looked harmonious, or Zen-like, to me. There were several points during which I had to step away and do something else, so that when I came back to the painting again, I saw it with fresh eyes.

As with all abstracts, I did not have a vision in my mind of the completed painting.  Instead, the painting evolved as it was being created.

Surprisingly, my husband did not say YUK when he saw it - he's not a fan of abstract.  He even came up with the title, which I kind of like because of the lettering and the complexity of the piece.

Mixed Media Demo #3, © Carol Nelson Fine Art

This is a mixed media demo piece I did for a recent workshop. It has copper metal, copper tacks and brads, tyvek, and acrylic paints on a wood panel with a black frame. Sometimes, when I'm demonstrating the use of various materials such as metals and tyvek, and showing methods of attachment, I end up putting together a pleasing little abstract during the class.

I liked how this one turned out. It's very 3D, an aspect which doesn't show very well in the photo. For purchase information, please see my website.

Quiety, It Rains - Texas Artist Judy Mackey

"Quietly, It Rains"

22 x 24 x 3/4 inches, Oil on Canvas

I was not feeling very happy when I painted this painting...a little melancholia, a little sadness, a little blue and maybe a little angry. I wanted to paint my mood in this very abstract landscape. I really did plan to title this piece "Deep Funk", but decided against it.

3D Abstract by Jen West

Bottlecap Boozer

20x24 Acrylic on Canvas

I wanted to add some dimension to this painting so I attatched beer bottle caps to the canvas. I found some old bottle caps smashed in the dirt while walking one day, I punched holes in them like buttons and ran thread through them to appear to be buttons on his jacket.
