Melo Porter Swimmer Original Art STYLE:Sitting Lovely for a dinner partyOriginal art by by Melo Porter. The Swimmer series invokes feelings of carefree days spent by the water. Her paintings are figurative in nature, and leave out the details of the face and also exclude shadows. This style is inspired by the works of Henri Matisse, Gary Hume, Kazimir Malevich, Alex Katz, and Milton Avery. Melo's art demonstrate the the importance of simplicity and the power of color. These pieces are great on their own in a small nook,
