"FLAMING GORGE" 12066, mixed media contemporary abstract by Carol Nelson Fine Art





Flaming Gorge





detail










This painting has a strong geologic feel to it, even though it is
abstract.   I'm sorry it's so hard to see the shine of the metal leaf in a photograph.

I started out with a layer of metal leaf.  Then I painted several transparent and opaque layers, using water misting  to get the paint to flow and a stream of hot air from a hair dryer to
somewhat direct the flow.

Reminded me of herding cats (not that I've ever done that.)
