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
melissa:
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".

I really like the art work on the definition page. Those are remarkable in style, content and execution. I appreciate good art and you work is better than I've seen in a long time.
Melissa:
Thanks, Denny. I appreciate the kind words. I'm spending SO much time in the studio these days, some of it is bound to work! :-D
Look for a whole new wrinkle on my art in the October message. I've turned a corner!

Melissa,
I do believe you are on to something with your new abstract painting DVD.
I personally would love to see more DVD's made with you showing us how to paint; you are far more interesting than some I have seen on TV. I enjoyed it aimlessly.
To just sit back and watch you describe all the interesting bits and pieces in your little Studio, and having fun doing it, brought back the times we all had at West Union, with you showing us all your Art.
Thanks
Patrick @ CMOHearn Dachshunds
Melissa:
Thanks so much for the kind words and for buying the whole DVD, Patrick. I hope we do more DVD's too - that was fun.

Ah, the Sun page: #3 in the 2d row and #1 in the 4th row. Eithere would look good on the house after it's painted. I would like to do a hex sign somewhere also!!

What a pleasure it was for Mary and I to get to meet with you. We can hardly wait to see what you create for us for our little hideaway at the beach. Hope you enjoyed your visit

The pleasure was mine. Your little hideaway is cozy and comfy and a great deal. I'm looking forward to painting something special for your main wall.

What a delight your work is. Just like the Melissa Marigold Johnston I knew so long ago. It's a joy to see your art and also that infectious smile that lights a room.

Hi Melissa,
I love your new art. The color combination is what I have been thinking about as I redo our guest room (we moved Alanna to her dorm room in the basement)...I have painted the walls a soft yellow and have purple sheets for curtains!!!
The outline technique really defines the shapes and movement in your pictures. I love your work. So glad you are spending so much time painting.
I bought a drawing diary and colored pencils for travel. I have a few rough sketches already. We went to The Art Museum of Nevada in Reno...It was great.
Have a great summer.
Love, Karla
Melissa:
Thanks, Karla. If you're in this area this summer let me know & we'll look through the stack 'o paintings for one to use in your guest room.
