About the Item
Artist Comments
A wintry scene unfolds with bare trees and geese in flight along a riverbank. Tangled weeds create intricate patterns that harmonize with the freeform structure of the branches. The gray clouds provide a chilly background for the landscape. The artwork invites reflection on the charm of winter and the anticipation of spring. Sparkling mineral colors enhance the beauty of this watercolor painting, featuring a variety of marks and textures achieved with both a brush and palette knife.
About the Artist
Artist Melissa Gannon brings a vibrant celebration of nature to her paintings, drawing inspiration from her travels, hikes, and local exploration. Using various mediums, including watercolor, acrylic, and oil, she captures the serenity of woods, the beauty of birds, and the lively hues of flowers in her artwork. "I reflect the joy inherent in the world around us," says Melissa. In 2001, she began teaching art classes. Melissa finds that it enhances her work as she continuously seeks challenging material to match the fast-growing skills of her students, keeping her in a constant state of reaching and learning. In her well-lit studio adorned with art supplies, books, and project photos, Melissa alternately enjoys the serenity of silence or the comfort of music during her creative sessions. Beyond art, her joy extends to various activities, including knitting, cycling, and cooking.
