Three Sails

This lake reminds me of Clear Lake, where we spent some time when I was little. My grandfather's brother had a home on the shore and my family cruised around the nooks and crannies on the lake. It was very unpopulated back then but now the brother's place is a marina and condo building. The rest of the area is covered up with strip centers and box stores.

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.
