Oil and Cold Wax Abstract Painting, "Beach Highway", by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Here is another attempt at using oil and cold wax medium. I am finding it is not that easy to master. There are wonderful effects, however, that are not achievable in other mediums.

Oversized Geologic Abstract Painting, "Seductive Sediment" © Carol Nelson Fine Art

"Seductive Sediment", 60 x 40, by Carol Nelson

This painting is taller than I am, so it was a bit of a struggle for me to handle. I found the inspiration for this painting in a slab of rock that I purchased at a gem and mineral show.
The pattern and colors were so bold, I just knew I had to paint it.

What you can't see very well in the photographs are the heavy texture, the sparkling glass and mica chips, even the 50,000 year old fossilized fish.

Abstract Painting, Mixed Media Art, “SOUTHWEST ARTIFACTS” by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

This geologic abstract features abundant textural elements along with three sculpted clay pieces. For the color palette, I chose the warm golds and reds of the Southwest, along with prominent turquoise and green in the focal area. The painting measures 12"x12". Add about 1.25" on each side for framed dimensions.

Geologic Abstract Painting, “SECRET CAVERN" by Colorado Mixed Media Abstract Artist Carol Nelson

I was going for a loose abstract look when I started painting this one. But as I kept working on it, it became increasingly a geologic abstract. I can't help it. I love painting rocks and rock textures. I can imagine coming across a cavern like this while hiking in the mountains, near where I live. I think I would be too afraid of disturbing the residents if I were to peek in there.

Geologic Abstract Painting "Stepping Out 2" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

This mixed media painting is somewhat of an unstructured geologic abstract with a lot of texture.

I like the very dramatic colors and value shifts from black to white. The design wraps around the sides. The painting looks good in either a horizontal or vertical presentation.
