Melinda Hughes Fine Art – My current endeavor is focused on creating beautiful fine art paintings utilizing acrylic paint on canvas or water colors on art paper. The subject matter can vary from landscapes to animals or anything that I have an interest in, including wildlife art. Through this medium, I find that I am able to express my emotional feelings for birds, horses, cats and other animals in landscapes and environmental scenes. My goal is to stimulate the viewers’ appreciation of nature and promote the incredible value of animals to our world. Their beauty and the things they contribute are an essential part of a balanced planet.
