"Autumn Elegy" mixed media aspen copper metal leaves abstract by Carol Nelson

Autumn Elegy

I did this painting last year, but I just got it back from a gallery (where it didn't sell).  It was like I was seeing it for the first time with new eyes.

I took it out of the frame and did some touching up - nothing major.  Mostly, I put a glaze of transparent red oxide over the top most section because it was looking too pink.  The colors are more harmonious now.

"DIAMOND MINE"

The composition for this geologic abstract is cruciform - the design I choose most frequently.  You can see the large amount of texture on this piece - especially the little raised cubes which have silver leaf on top of them.  I meticulously added the silver leaf adhesive with a small applicator to each cube.


This painting has a lot of metallic paint, giving it a soft glow that doesn't photograph very well.  For purchase information, click here to go to my website.
