"City History" ~ a Mixed Media Abstract Contemporary Painting by Texas Daily Painter Nancy Standlee



"City History"
8 x 10"

If you've been following my posts for a few weeks you know I've been taking an online Texture Town class given by Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen from their teaching collaboration site, click HERE. I've stretched their instructions a little in this one. All the pieces have been done with a similar palette of a grey and brown natural colors and I added a little copper metallic in this one along with rice paper and stencils and some impressions. The class has expanded my horizons with texture application and the next post will show a painting with some cardboard pieces used.

The December issue of Southwest Art arrived yesterday and you can see my horse collage, "Rocinante" on the upper left of page 24. The ad was placed through the Daily Painters Abstract blog.

This looks very interesting. Love all the textures and limited palette.

Thanks Carol. I've given out your blog address to some in the group if they want to see texture on steroids.

I really like this piece and the limited palette you used. Congrats on being chosen for the magazine ad. I can understand why as this collage is wonderful!

Thanks Eva but I paid for the ad along with the rest of the abstract painters. Glad you like the colors - a little different for me.
