The color yellow;
Yellow is sunshine. It is a warm color that, like red, has conflicting symbolism. On the one hand it denotes happiness and joy but on the other hand yellow is the color of cowardice and deceit.

"EARTH ELEMENTS" 11083, textured geologic contemporary abstract © Carol Nelson Fine Art

Earth Elements






It's very satisfying to address a painting that just wasn't quite up to par, rework it, and improve it.  I first painted this work in 2007.  It has languished in my storage area for years.

I stumbled across it the other day while I was looking for a different painting.  I always thought the composition was good on this one, but it used to have white, gray and black in the lower section.

I reworked mostly the color palette for the painting.  I brought in tones of red oxide, burnt umber, and dioxazine purple, black and white.  The result is an analogous color scheme that easily blends with a number of decor palettes.

Abstract expressionistic fine art painting



Falling Up
acrylic/oil
Another in my new movement art series.
Truly a painting frenzy and the best part of my day.
I love to finish and start my day in the studio.
I find it very zen, tactile, physical and non rational.
A sense of freedom;
"Kandinsky believed that colors provoke emotions. Red was lively and confident; Green was peaceful with inner strength; Blue was deep and supernatural; Yellow could be warm, exciting, disturbing or totally bonkers; and White seemed silent but full of possibilities. He also assigned instrument tones to go with each color: Red sounded like a trumpet; Green sounded like a middle-position violin; Light Blue sounded like flute; Dark Blue sounded like a cello, Yellow sounded like a fanfare of trumpets; and White sounded like the pause in a harmonious melody."

Contemporary abstract art

Broken & Blue 20x24

Resolution 20x20


Twice I have subconsciously created "hearts" from
my abstract expressionistic method. This was created with thick
juicy texture and movement.
Quote; " I don't paint with ideas of art in mind. I see something that
excites me. It becomes my content." (1968 De Kooning)
I love this quote and understand it's meaning.
What does it mean to you?
