Mixed Media Abstract Art "BADLANDS" by Colorado Mixed Media Artist Carol Nelson Fine Art

This artwork, titled "Badlands," is a 24 x 24 mixed media piece that showcases a rich texture and three-dimensional feel. The colors transition through earthy tones of brown, orange, gold, and charcoal, with a striking stripe of bright blue cutting across the darker shades. The paint application varies, ranging from smooth washes to dense, opaque areas. The composition and color palette might suggest a natural landscape, reminiscent of arid terrain, rocky outcrops, or a geological cross-section. The bold contrast and dynamic forms engage the viewer's imagination to interpret the scene, creating an emotional or visceral response. The artwork is inspired by desert badlands and salt flats, and its heavily textured surface adds a unique and captivating element.

Contemporary Landscape, Painting, Abstract Art "EARLY MORNING" by Intuitive Artist Joan Fullerton

 




This painting is part of my new series "Luminous Dimensions"



If you can suggest an idea rather than fully explain it from a customary perspective, what you have is more poetic. "A poem was a box for your soul. that was the point. It was the place where you could save bits of yourself, and shake out your darkest feelings. While I was writing, I would forget myself and everyone else: poetry made me feel part of something noble and beautiful and bigger than me. All the images and rhymes wrestled into place, then they would surprise me by surging through me, like songs I knew by heart." Andrea Ashworth, Once in a House on Fire Framed in a gold floater frame; ready to hang.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Fine Art Oil Painting,“Hibernation” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens


The deer and elk migrated weeks ago to the warmer valley below. The animals that stay behind will find a cozy place under the snow to hibernate, fish will live comfortably under the ice and aspens shed their leaves. Occasionally a wind breaks the winter silence as it whistles through the tree tops. The tall pines sway back and forth, adding a soft rhythmic creaking to the gentle sounds of Winter.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting,“No City Lights” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

 


This lovely meadow is on the outskirts of a community that is still blessed with lots of natural open space. It’s horse country … it’s fishing country or just simply meandering in the riparian areas on foot. At night, there are a jillion stars … and out here, a jillion is a real number.

Contemporary Landscape Painting, Fine Art Oil Painting “Yellow Pranksters” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens

 

High Country Aspen trees seem to play pranks on the seasons. They are in sync during the summer months with harmonizing soft green colors. But as soon as fall begins, they spring forth with a bright array of yellow, orange and red colors to trick us into thinking maybe summer has not gone away. But the joke is on them as people flock in droves to enjoy their spectacular show.

Abstract Landscape, Orange Sky, Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting,“Sienna Sky" by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens


This little piece is one of my personal favorites, and I really can’t tell you why. Every-once-in-awhile a piece of art just speaks to us … all of us. It awakens warm, happy feelings that reach out to us saying, “please take me home with you”. I should keep this one, but artists have to draw the line on collecting their own work somewhere!

Winter Landscape, Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting,Colorado Landscape, Fine Art Oil Painting, “Frosty Morning" by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens


When the bare branches on trees collect moisture during an exceptionally cold, damp winter night, they appear as a frosty greenish/blue mass in the early dawn. It’s a beautiful, surreal fairyland that makes the red tops of dormant bushes along the pond seem even brighter.

Contemporary Impressionist Landscape Painting, Fine Art Oil Painting “Dormant Trees” by Colorado Contemporary Fine Artist Jody Ahrens


These dormant trees provided a perfect foundation to experiment with negative space painting. After roughing in the branches with a dark color and broader than needed strokes, I begin painting the negative spaces, which is the space between the branches. To create an edgier look, I deliberately did not create continuity in the background.
