For the love of Watercolor

For the love of Watercolor Handmade Custom Watercolor Animal Portraits. Looking for a portrait of your pet? Or animal paintings for a nursery? Hey, y'all! Animals only, though.

Maybe you want farm animal paintings for your kitchen? All animals are welcome-- fur, feathers, fins and scales included! My name is Melissa, and I'm the artist here! I fell in love with watercolor painting over a decade ago in a college art class, and I have been fine-tuning my skills over the years. Animals are also another passion of mine, as well as my career-- I'm an LVT and a VTS in Dentistr

y. Christmas gifts, memorials of pets, nursery paintings, farm animals for your kitchen-- you name it and I'll paint it! Making other people happy brings me so much joy, so I can't wait to create for you! Please feel free to message me with questions!

My painting space sometimes looks a little different than my Craft Barn.

These days I’m juggling motherhood, this small business, & going back to work part-time next week.
Lots and lots of hours go into completing these pieces between the drawing and painting portions. Those who have ordered (or are planning to), I appreciate your patience. I promise to work with your deadlines and get your portraits finished in a timely manner.

All black coats are fun to layer and play with shading. Watercolor art is all about the layers, just like ogres and onions. 😁

Where are all my fellow fantasy addicts?!
