Mixed Media Art Painting "Relic" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson

This is another in my rust series.  In addition to the rusted iron paint used throughout the piece, there is mica flake on the two horizontal bars, and a flattened, rusted Snapple bottle cap that I ran over with my car  in the lower left.  The other rounded shapes in the lower section are actually indentations in the substrate, which is extruded polystyrene.   The background is handmade metallic paper mounted on a piece of MDF board.

Wall Sculpture,Mixed Media Sculpture "C4, 10413" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

This is another in my mini wall sculpture series of "combines."  This one could be called Red Fish Box for obvious reasons.  It has a secret compartment - I can think of all kinds of things to put in there.

This combine also features some rusted elements, a fish, a key, some metal embellishments, some left over tile, and a small metal box that opens.

Mixed Media Equine Painting,Horse Art "Best of Friends" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson

I used a palette knife to apply texture to the canvas before layering on several washes of acrylic color on this painting.  The texture and depth of color add to the appeal of this work.

Mixed Media Wall Sculpture "C3" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson

                                               

This sculpture is made up of found objects that have been painted with iron paint, which is then rusted.  Looking carefully, you can see an old bottle cap (which was already rusted), a small canvas, a spool that held ribbon, some leftover tile from my bathroom project, the top of a spice bottle, part of a light fixture, and a fluted nut.

I love turning trash into art, and working three dimensional.  This "combination"  can hang on a wall or be displayed on a small easel.

"C5" mixed media wall sculpture by Carol Nelson

"C5"

You're probably saying to yourself, What the heck is THAT?!  It's my latest wall sculpture.  It has rusted stuff, burlap, and some other things mounted on a 4x4 inch wood panel.

I got the idea from reading about Nkisi - an ancient art form from a tribe in the Congo.  They used a lot of nails in their figures which
were thought to contain spirits.

There's an artist in the U.K. by the name of Wayne Chisnall that has based some of his work on the Nkisi too.  His boxes are amazing.

As you can see, the nails are carefully rusted before use.  The circular part at the bottom of my sculpture is made from glue from a glue gun.  When it gets hard, you can paint it with iron paint and rust it as if it were metal.  So cool.
