Beach Entrance

Boardwalk leading toward the ocean, flanked by white railings on both sides, creating a pathway that draws the viewer's eye straight to the turquoise sea in the background. A tall palm tree stands to the left, its dark green fronds contrasting with the bright blue sky. The sky is dotted with soft, white clouds, adding depth and a sense of calm to the scene. Shadows and light play across the boardwalk, emphasizing texture and warmth. The overall color palette is bright and summery, with strong blues, whites, and natural browns, evoking a peaceful and inviting beach atmosphere.

Southwest Art Magazine named her one of "12 Texas Artists to Collect."

Melinda Patrick began developing her art when she was a very young child. Her paintings are her vision of the places she loves, the colorful cityscapes and ordinary people that catch her eye.

Melinda is a native Houstonian but received her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute. She was mentored from an early age by her grandfather, a painter, photographer and graphic designer. She goes back and forth to paint between a pine forest near her native Houston and the Texas Hill Country.
