Description: Diane Nelson creates original and commissioned paintings for the home and office.
Landscape is defined as a work of art featuring scenes of nature. Mindscape is different: Here, I make a leap from representational art to an abstract, minimalist composition and color palette. These paintings suggest a piece of ground, a slice of sky or a body of water, though they can also be appreciated as shapes and colors composed in a satisfying array. Elements are arranged in a coherent composition with randomness of natural forms in invented compositions.
I continue to strive to push the objective farther and farther from my vision, challenging my viewer to see what isn’t there. These paintings have a will of their own and there are always surprises.
