"Twilight Dance" abstract tree landscape by Carol Nelson

"Twilight Dance" 36x24

This is a tree landscape in which I experimented with pouring and dripping on the canvas to simulate distant tree branches.  These drips were partially covered up when I painted in the foreground trees.  I like the abstracted effect of the loose, drippy background.

As with all my tree paintings, I paid attention to the value contrasts of light-on-dark and dark-on-light.

I painted this while we were spending a week at our condo in Breckenridge.  The couple that went with us loved it, and bought it on the spot.  Would that all sales came that easily.

"Autumn Glow" mixed media tree landscape collage painting by Carol Nelson

"Autumn Glow"

What can I say?  I could go on endlessly making variations of these colorful tree collages.  This was another demo for private students in my studio.  As a teacher, this tree technique is very satisfying because all my students have great success with it.

"Winter Wardrobe" mixed media tree landscape by Carol Nelson

"Winter Wardrobe"

I just realized that I never posted this demo painting from my recent workshop at Art of the Carolinas.  It's another from my tree series.  I never tire of the seemingly endless opportunities to use color in this format.

It's painted on a cradled wood panel - I think that has to be my favorite surface.  I like the firm feel under the brush.
