Mixed Media Abstract Collage, "Cloud Kiss" by Carol Nelson Fine Art

I am wondering why this painting received so many "likes" on Facebook. The neutral palette? The various textures? The cruciform design pattern? The juxtaposition of hard and soft edges? The full range of values?

 I knew it was a winner as soon as I finished it. All the commotion on my Facebook page affirms that.

Mixed Media Acrylic Abstract, "Creative Floating" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

 

"Creative Floating" , 24x18 inches, by Carol Nelson

This painting features a textured surface on which a limited palette of colors were floated and allowed to mingle in a random fashion.  The symbols in the lower left are actually the printed letters of the word CREATE.  They are cut up and arranged in an abstract design.

Inspiration for this painting came from a new palette I'm working with in my kitchen redesign.

These Golden colors are Van Dyke brown, black, white, Titan Buff fluid acrylic, and Sepia high flow acrylic.  Prior to adding paint, the surface was textured using Alex Flex flexible spackling from Home Depot.  The texture influences some of the paint flow in unexpected ways.

Mixed Media Geologic Abstract "Petroglyphs", © Carol Nelson Fine Art

 

"Petroglyphs" , 24 x 18, by Carol Nelson

This mixed media piece is done in a neutral palette. The earthy brown tones warm up a generally cool gray, black and white palette. I started the painting by layering three kinds of paper on the canvas: brown packing paper, red rosin paper, and textured wallpaper.

Then I added some premixed stucco repair (found in the paint department at Home Depot). I was interested in how the three different papers and the texture medium would absorb the paint. Sometimes you are surprised how a single swish of paint can look so different depending on the absorption of the substrate.

Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "Indigo Mood" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Indigo Mood", 8x10, by Carol Nelson

This painting was started as a demo in a workshop I gave in Portland, OR, a few months ago.
As often happens, I don't have time to finish my demo when there are 20 students who need my help.  Today I found it under a pile of  papers, so I had time to contemplate it and finish.

Mixed Media Abstract Collage, "Billboard 6" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Billboard 6" , 40 x 30 inches, by Carol Nelson

This mixed media collage has been around my studio for a couple years. It had some design problems that I decided to tackle.

Above is the original painting. The area on the upper left side is the problem area.  The addition of a few additional collage pieces helped bring the painting together.  I also added a number of small painted black rectangles throughout the design as a unifying element.  I'm happier with it now.

I feel good about the color harmony and, with all the textural components, it holds the viewers interest for a long time as you visually explore all around the canvas.
