Melissa Walker Nautical Chart Series

I am illustrating the essence of the ocean and the areas around it by depicting atmospheric conditions and times of day without creating a realistic view. I bring the viewer into the artwork with titles that repeat locations on the charts in many of the paintings. Each artwork is open to the individual viewer’s interpretation. Some will see the image as a birds eye view, much as you would view a map or look at the earth from an airplane. Others will see the same painting as a landscape, with the traditional sky, horizon line and water. It is up to you to choose how you view each work of art. Please contact me directly if you are interested in purchasing any of my paintings.
