" Pink Skies" (above)

"Quiet Morning" (above)

These are my newest editions to my artistic creations. "Pink Skies" and "Quiet Morning" are created from very light pastels to portray a feeling of calm or the idea of meditation. I entered into this painting experience with fear because most of my paintings are filled with bright and vivid colors. These are understated and somewhat relaxed (comparitively speaking). However, they turned out just beautiful!

I currently start most of my auctions at the base canvas price just so I can make enough to buy more canvases and to continue painting....so take advantage of the low prices and bring one of these gorgeous paintings into your home! To see these or any of my other paintings in a larger size, simply double click on the desired painting and you will get a closer view! Also, to see all of the paintings I have for bid on eBay, go to the posting below this one and click on the link at the bottom of the post! Thanks for visiting!!!!!!Melissa

Hidden Faces

The flowers are created using red, white, yellow, and purple points. The colors of yellow and purple are split complimentaries of red, so they will be pleasing to view.

Revised Paintings

"Path to a Stream" SOLD!!!!
"Garden in Paradise" SOLD!!!!

After looking at the original condition of these two paintings (which can be viewed further down this page), I realized that I wanted to add a little background to them so I revised each of them. I am very happy with the results, I believe the changes have made each of the paintings more complete. These paintings have just been posted on ebay (12/09/07). They can be found if you click on the following links:

Stream through Wildflowers

SOLD!!

This is a wonderful picture of a stream and a series of waterfalls through a field of wildflowers. The water just invites you to wade through its crisp water and feel the sand between you toes. The natural perfume of the flowers relax the senses as the view relieves the soul.

Sailing under the Moon

SOLD!!! This painting is a single moment in time in which the moon reflects off the trees on each side of the bay and sets the sails aglow. This glow lights the way as the sailboat enters the bay. It is simply beautiful!

Yellow Tulips

This painting was one of the first that I ever painted on a canvas. It is not an original, I was learning how to paint from a book called "Art School" and replicated a painting I found in there. It is not an exact replica. I chose this painting because my mom loves the color yellow and the flowers seemed to be destined for her. This painting now resides in my mom's home and is a perfect fit! However, her beauty outshines these flowers any time of day!!! I love you mom!

This is a nice paintings. It presents as being a little tilted in this picture, but is actually level in the horizon. "Full Moon Rising" was created completely from prussian blue shades and white. The moon glows as it rises, reflecting off each subtle wave and the land in distance.

"Garden and Pond"
"Midnight Beach"
"Stream to a Pond"
"Secluded Beach"
"Garden in Paradise"
Click on each painting for a larger view of each of these paintings! These paintings are all on sale on eBay at this time and over the next week. Over the next couple of days I will post close-ups of many of the paintings and try to provide better pictures of each painting as it is difficult to get a good shot of many of them because they produce a glare when captured with the digital. The true colors of each painting may not be exhibited due to the computer especially for the "Garden in Paradise" painting which is filled with bright colors.

Ocean at Night

"Ocean at Night" is the first of the three paintings in the series. It is absolutely beautiful! You can almost hear the sound of the ocean as you picture yourself sitting on the beach with this view in front of you. This was a very popular painting on eBay and sold quickly.

Midnight Beach

"Midnight Beach" is the third in a series of the Ocean at Night series. It portrays ocean waves crashing to the beach underneath the watchful eye of the moon.
