"Joy Horse" Original 5x7 Acrylic Painting, "Ugandan Longhorn" Original 5x7 Acrylic Painting and "Moonlight Mermaid" Original 8x8 Acrylic Painting
Another busy day... I finished these three fun little pieces. "Joy Horse" and "Ugandan Longhorn" SOLD are both 5x7 with the background texture running over both sides. The are $95. "Moonlight Mermaid" is 8x8 and is $125.SOLD She has texture on all four sides and hangs diagonally in a diamond shape. Please contact me if you are interested in any of these pieces. I packed my clothes for New Zealand today, I pretty much have one more day to paint and then I'm off on my big adventure!
Joy Horse-beside himself with joy. Very cute! Ugandan Longhorn- my favorite of this group. What a great cow! I like the pretty little mermaid too, and I like that you made her diagonal.

Artist Melissa Cole often finds herself snorkeling with salmon, smooching manatees, and swimming with tiger sharks. It is from these amazing encounters that she derives much of the inspiration for her vividly colored, heavily textured and patterned acrylic paintings.
Cole was born in Oregon and raised in London, Hong Kong, and India. She graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Zoology and spent time as a naturalist guide in Mexico. She’s written over 30 children’s natural history books and travels with her husband Brandon, who is a wildlife photographer specializing in marine life. Melissa has always dabbled in art, but has spent the last ten years fully devoted to it. She is strongly influenced by ethnic patterns, which she sees in her travels abroad. “You’ll find lots of dots, and a distinct border pattern in each of my pieces.” Her work is found in galleries ranging from Stephan Fine Arts in Anchorage, Alaska to The Wild Side Gallery in Key West, Florida.

Interesting. A bit celtic, a bit traditional Mexican art, a bit like mosaic in a good way.
Not really my taste, but I can see them being used by a professional interior decorator.
I know my sister would have liked the mermaid.
