Welcome!        Welcome to Handpainted Treasures by Melissa.  I am glad you stopped by.  While you're here, please visit the Gallery, which showcases my artwork and is the place to shop.  There are a variety of sections within the gallery.  I hope you will browse through all of them.  The Art of the Matter is a section I've created to share various updates and ideas with you. The Upcoming Events section provides information on shows I will be participating in.  For those of you who live in southern California I hope you will stop by and say hi. For my website friends, please note that I typically paint between one and five of most items shown for sale.  Each piece is individually painted by me in my tiny studio, making them truly one of a kind! They are not mass produced, and most items will be retired once they are sold.  If you see something you like, please don't wait to add it to your collection of treasures.  As always, I hope you will visit often.  You can also send me a note by clicking here.  I love hearing from you! Thanks again for visiting my website.
