In addition to painting, Mell Feltman gives demonstrations and teaches watermedia classes and workshops with an emphasis
on design, color and individuality.
Like many before me, my first visit to France was not enough, awakening as it did an insatiable curiosity about this culture,
both modern and ancient.

No doubt my American imagination is stirred by the aesthetic sensibilities that underlie nearly every aspect of French life
. . . the gentler pace, or the more melodic language. Undeniably, it is always a thrill to experience with one's own senses, those places
that once inspired the Impressionists.
I especially enjoy painting the figure, capturing people in a moment of candor, unaware of my attention as they go about
their daily lives — sharing food, wine and gossip; resting; buying and selling; watching one another or hoping to be watched; showing
off or hiding out.

Through my painting, I hope to entice the viewer into this moment, like a whispered invitation to pause and watch with me, unobserved and without judgement, from the shadows.
