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.

Mixed Media, Collage Art Painting "Ancient Memory" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

As a college art instructor, I took a semester-long sabbatical in Italy, where I took classes in Cortona through the University of Georgia Studies Abroad. This collage painting features a drawing I did in Florence and an image from the Vatican Museum, where I had a flashback to a previous life lived in Rome. Italy, and especially Rome, feels like home.
