"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.

Burnished

This geologic abstract has a mat that I painted with two shades of copper acrylic.  Since there is copper and gold paint in the painting, I thought it really enhanced the work.

The bevel on the mat was white.  I painted the bevel black and let the paint smudge out on to the mat a bit. It looks very much like the mat is made from copper metal.

Autumn Elegy

Copper, aluminum, and paper leaves make up this ode to autumn.  I rarely frame a painting under glass, but a shadow box treatment works well with this piece.
