Choppy Water

Rowboat resting on gently rippling water, with the foreground dominated by vibrant hues of blue, green, and sandy beige reflecting the surrounding environment. The boat itself features a white hull with brown and green accents, anchored securely by ropes tied to its bow and stern. In the background, a distant cityscape with abstracted buildings lines the horizon beneath a sky filled with dynamic, swirling clouds. The painting uses bold, expressive brushstrokes and a rich color palette to convey a serene maritime scene brimming with vitality and light.

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.
