Back From Berlin

Yeah! Back from Berlin. I had a wonderful time laughing and taking in the sights with my friend Greta and her family. I walked and biked all over Berlin and went to museums, galleries, cafes,gardens and the Berlin philharmonic. It was very rejuvenating and I am ready to get back in the studio!

"Perdida" the mermaid is 8x16 original acrylic on canvas and was my gift to Greta.

Berlin

Hello! I forgot to mention that I was going to Berlin, Germany to visit my dear friend Greta from April 15-25. I am here now, just went running along the Spree River in the center of Berlin. It is spring here, green and beautiful. I am looking forward to visiting many of the galleries and museums. I will report back soon! ~ Melissa

"Easter Escape" Original 9x12 Acrylic Painting

Happy Easter! I couldn't help but paint this fiesty little rabbit leaping over his responsibilities and escaping easter! It is an acrylic painting on gallery wrapped 9x12 canvas, so no frame is needed. $225. Please contact me if you are interested. It has lots of fun texture and was inspired by Ukrainian egg designs.

"Happy Hour" Original Acrylic Painting and "Copper River Salmon 1"

It's happy hour! I am painting again, and glad to be doing so. "Copper River Salmon 1" has both paint and tiffany green patina on hand hammered copper.

My happy crow is acrylic on a 10"x20" gallery wrapped canvas. The border is wrapped over both sides and there is no need for a frame. $385. Please contact me if you are interested in either piece.
