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.

Textured Mixed Media Abstract Painting, "ARROYO," by Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

This is painting is a diptych - two panels EACH measuring 36 inches tall by 12 inches wide.  The original painting is sold, but this reproduction has been EMBELLISHED  by me with textural "stones" that I create and paint.  There are also shell fragments attached to the surface.  The result is a heavily textured reproduction very similar to the original.

Acrylic Geologic Abstract Painting "Turquoise Ridge" by Carol Nelson Fine Art

Turquoise Ridge

 

This is a demo I did in my recent Dallas workshop.  As often happens, when I get home from the workshop, I have time to take a more critical look at the painting, and make adjustments if necessary.

This one needed color and value adjustments.  The composition was set in stone, as it were, because of the textured sculpted areas.

"Wood Rock" mixed media geologic abstract painting by Carol Nelson

"Wood Rock" 36x24 mixed media

This painting was based on a piece of petrified wood I found in a gem and mineral store in Taos.

The wood/stone was polished on one side, but the other side, which was rough, was the one I chose to paint.

I added more "stones" in the center crevice.  Those "stones" are actually pieces of shells and broken auto glass. 

It was a lot of fun to paint a geologic abstract with the model, with it's amazing subtle color variations, sitting right in front of me.

For more information, click here to go to my website.

"Arroyo" mixed media geologic abstract painting by Carol Nelson

This painting is a large (48x36 inch) triptych on three wood panels, each measuring 48x12 inches.  I added a LOT of texture, including gritty modeling compound, rocks, and glass blobs.

The most exciting thing about this painting is hardly even visible in a photo.  The area around the rocks has a pouring of epoxy resin resembling water.
