“A Portrait in Song” Giclee Print

By Melani | March 29, 2018 |

In transparent violets and blues, a maiden spirit rises from the waters, emanating flowers and song, watched over by two muses.

Available in 2 sizes (Select a size below for more information.)

This mythical muse shares with us a tender story of healing. A creature of beauty, she was cursed to utter shocking words and noises. She was embarrassed and dismayed that her life of grace and magic was marred by her involuntary speech. People stared at her and whispered. She struggled against the curse, but to no avail and in her frustration and misery, wept. Finally, she let go, let control float away. But in her surrender, she found a deep strength in an unexpected place. Within her own body, from her heart-space, came a sensation of cool water. It filled her chest and spilled forth. From that moment, each word became a poem. A flower bloomed from her lips with each new spoken thought. She overcame the curse and transformed her world into a garden of blossoms.

Winter’s Icy Breath: the Flat Lay Inspiration

By Melani | January 18, 2019 |

A detail from The flat lay assemblage inspired by the painting, "Winter's Icy Breath", by Melani Grube. From the Muses series. The flat lay includes winter plant sketches, metal and black metallic bracelets, a white heart-shaped seashell, a jewelled pin, crystals, and photos of deer, a nesting bird, snowy landscapes, a siberian husky, and an eagle.

What do you think of when you think of winter? These creatures came to mind for me. These colors crept in and found a home in my painting. And crisp, crystalline textures crunched about. Keep watching to see this piece develop. See the next post in the process here or start at the beginning…
