Mixed media geologic abstract painting, "Artifacts 2" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Artifacts 2" , 10x10 inches, by Carol Nelson

FRESH OFF THE EASEL

This geologic abstract focuses on hand made clay pieces that resemble ancient pottery artifacts in an archeological dig.  At least, that's my artistic interpretation - my apologies to actual archeologists and geologists.

I just love the color palette in this one.  Can't go wrong with complements, right?  But notice in the turquoise section there is some olive green areas.  That's where I added some of the orange to the turquoise.  In the upper orange section, there are brown tones added.  There I added some Van Dyke brown to my orange mixture.  Those subtle color shifts soften the strong contrast of warm and cool tones.
