"Autumn Elegy" mixed media aspen leaf copper metal abstract by Carol Nelson

Autumn Elegy

I did this painting last year, but I just got it back from a gallery (where it didn't sell).  It was like I was seeing it for the first time with new eyes.

I took it out of the frame and did some touching up - nothing major.  Mostly, I put a glaze of transparent red oxide over the top most section because it was looking too pink.  The colors are more harmonious now.

Here's two more versions of the photos I took while we were up in Breckenridge, CO.  These are painted in oil on paper using a brush and a palette knife.  The knife is really great for adding texture and simulating leaves.
