"Cool Water": Melissa Lofton's new show in St. Helena

"Cool Water," a new show of canyon artist Melissa Lofton's oil paintings, has just opened at Range Mercantile in St. Helena.

The show runs until September 23.

"[Melissa's] painting is inspired by her love of the natural world, and this series is an expression of her fascination with water, the driving force of all nature."

Melissa maintains a studio at her home on Green Ridge and another in Carmel.

So the beautiful motifs and color and rhythms in her work help awaken that dreaming beauty within and around oneself as well.
