Melissa Franklin Sanchez
"Smith Cove, Shelter Island" small scale plein air oil painting - The Hamptons

2014

About the Item

This miniature oil-on-panel painting was painted en plein-air, on an Island between the North and South Forks of Long Island. She captures the scene of a calm cove, Brown sand outlines the foreground up to a thick white cap of where the bay meets the shore. Clouds reflect off the water in light shades of lilac and pink. Boats are represented with only tiny dabs of paint. The horizon starts with a nearby peninsula of green foliage and then extends into the distance with a thin, horizontal, indigo line. The sky resembles the bay, until just above the clouds where rich blues live. Melissa Franklin Sanchez was born in 1984, in Warwickshire, England. In 2002 she graduated from her humanistic studies: Art, Music, English Literature, Performing Arts and Ballet. In 2003 she completed an intensive art foundation course at the Slade School of Art, London. She then enrolled at the Florence Academy of art, a school dedicated to the study of realistic and figurative art. She graduated with the three-year diploma in painting and was offers a 4th year of specialization. Her work is currently represented in both Europe and the USA, by Scriba, InPARADISO Gallery, Venice, Italy, and Jack Meier Gallery, Houston, Texas. She is also an artist member of the Concilio Europeo delli Arte. Melissa's love of Italy, its culture, beauty and tradition will continue to be an inspiration for her life and her work. Recently, Sanchez has created a series of paintings inspired by her new home in Fiesole. Her sought after gem-like interiors are inspired by the likes of Hammershoi, with their dramatic lighting and deep sense of intimacy. Franklin Sanchez has made an important shift from painting on copper panels to aluminium panels to create more ambitious larger images.
