Description
Come In From The Cold is a contemporary floral abstraction with mixed-media expressionism. When you add the bold size, expressive marks, and tender sentiments, you have all the hallmarks of a Melissa Lea original painting.
Come In From The Cold is an expression of warmth and an invitation to linger, to feel the soft resilience of love. Fragments of poetry and story from an 1875 publication are patterned throughout the painting in collage. The colors and shapes are gentle and warm, and the sentiments are timeless, like memories retold through generations.
A unique contemporary design that bridges the past with the present, and carries tenderness, light, and comfort.
Short Story: Are You My Wife
Poem: The Bath Of The Golden Robin
