My name is Melanie Fountain.  I currently live in the Sierra foothills in California...very beautiful place I might add! I work full time and pursue my art in my spare time. I have hopes that some day I will work on my art full time and have some spare time. ;)
Growing up my grandmother, aunt, and uncle were all artists; therefore, artistic influences were a part of life all through my childhood. I began working in acrylics and oils as a teenager then started experimentling with pastels and charcoal a few years later. I feel in love with pastels and the way they work. I still find it amazing.
I attended college art classes, yet my primary style is self-taught. I attend paint-in's around California where the influence and techniques of artists are shared along with a great time. I have conducted paint-in's, workshops, and private lessons. Now that my youngest children are almost grown I have been able to spend more time focusing on my art.
I have created a blog to chronicle my Art Adventure. It can be found at www.melaniefountain.blogspot.com.
Art is a very wonderful thing. There is a magic in art...the magic of putting emotions into a visual form. Â
I hope everyone has a great day!!
Thanks for stopping by.
Until next time...
