Hi Melissa and fellow artists,
I tried a new twist on the Definition Painting. Instead of doing the acrylic paint scraping, I did a wet on wet watercolor with splotches of color, let it dry, then used a black marker to do the definition part. It's a very different "feel" than the acrylic. I will show it to you in class.

Hi Melissa,
I am so glad I can come to your art class. It is one of the highlights of my week.You set such a fun, positive, encouraging, creative atmosphere in the class. It is very healing to be in your class. I had fun starting my altered book. While the sale was still on, I picked up 6 more books at 25 cents each for other class members to use. For some of them, it might be hard to arrange transportation to get a used book.

Melissa, Just checking out your altered book info and pictures. Genius! I hope you can help me in class so I can do an altered book I can be proud of! (I'm not doubting your abilities, only my own.) Love, faith

 Good Morning Melissa,
I was feeling a bit nostalgic this a.m. & loved coming to your site & seeing family.
While 2008 was a year of such great loss, it was also a year of great personal growth.Keeping Majella,Gail & George all tucked in a special place in my heart has helped so very much.
As my hubby & I begin our new business, I like to think I carry the strength each one of them gave me, into the future.
Thanks for the reunion.
Kim

Hi Melissa! I am enjoying getting a little glimpse of your life. The chair paintings are fun. You always did have a great imagination and awesome creativity. It's obvious that you are a wonderful teacher with wonderful students!
Melissa:
Thanks, Stefani! I really enjoy teaching and I do have some amazing students. We're on semester break right now so I'm planning next semester. Keep checking back, OK?

Melissa - You've done it again! Your Art Quotes page is marvelous and hit it just right with this home-snow bound old lady. Merry Christmas to you and Robert.
Melissa:
Thanks so much, Doris. If it weren't for my Studio I would have such a case of cabin fever! But I'm able to just tromp through the snow and ice in the footprints I made SIX days ago. Arteesta Cat (I fancied up her name because she's turning into such a little character.) no longer shows any interest at all in going outdoors. When I come and go, she lifts her head in slight annoyance of the cold blast.
I hope you have plenty of food. Stay safe - see you in January.

I love your tribute to your mom! I remember meeting her at one of your "openings" and she reminded me so much of my own mother. They gave us wonderful eyes to see the world. sally

What a gift, eh?

I'm so glad you put the Rubarb pictures in - they show what a "pistol" your mom was. Now I know where you get it from! Love you girl!
Melissa:
She was a pistol, for sure! I'm more of a "piss ant".

Beautiful remembrance for an amazing woman. Hugs and kisses from Deb.
BTW, the bug in my pic is my granddaughter, Rowan. I hope she grows up strong and beautiful like Melissa and her mother.
Melissa:
Thanks so much for the adorable picture. What a sweetie-doodle!
