DeAnn Melton Oil Paintings

Portraits from Masters and Lovers Collection

All the artists, collectors, and curators posed for each painting; therefore, were painted from life sittings. The artists' portraits were done in their studios or at the home of collectors. Twenty-five of the paintings were shown at the Roswell Museum and Art Center in 2007. The project was started in 1992. Fifty paintings have been done to date and will be on going over the years.
