Carol Nelson I am an artist residing in Colorado. I have been painting primarily in oils and acrylics for the past 7 years. I love the vibrant color and texture that these two mediums afford. My work has been purchased for numerous private, corporate, and civic collections.
My style revolves from contemporary realism to abstraction. I love doing landscapes, animal, and still life paintings, but after several weeks working in those genres, I am often compelled to return to abstract work. Each style, whether realistic or abstract, has it's own unique set of challenges. I think working in the two styles keeps my work fresh and innovative.
