Kelly and Isaiah

2010 Commission "Kelly and Isaiah"

The Overson kids

This was one of my first commissions as an artist. These are the children of one of my dad's co-workers. He noticed some artwork that my dad had hung in his office and asked me to re-create an old photo of his children.

HI!  Welcome to my blog!  My name is Melissa, but Mel is easier for people to remember.  :)  I am a 23 yr old artist from Southern California.  I have been involved in art my entire life and I enjoy painting all kinds of things from portraits to landscapes.  I have just recently started to sell my art and I am super excited to show everyone what I can do.... Once I have this blogging thing figured out. :D
