Reviews of Melissa Jean Art (Painter)

Blue Heron Lake Tours

Melissa nailed it! I first contacted Melissa to see if she could paint something for my wife’s 40th birthday. I wanted a picture of our favourite spot, our back dock at sunrise. Little did I know, my wife secretly was trying to get Melissa to do the same thing for me, as an anniversary present. Well, not only did Melissa handle that delicate situation with grace, she proceeded to paint us the most perfect painting for our newly renovated kitchen and dining room. We love it and continue to love it every time we look at it. Duncan McEwen

I have the joy of having two custom paintings by Melissa Jean. She was able to perfectly capture not only the scene I described but the feeling and emotion that it instilled for me as well. Thank you!

We were blessed to have spent the day on the ice, fishing and having a camp fire on an island on our lake, with Melissa and family last winter. We had talked about getting a painting from her. Fast forward to about a month or so later and while hanging out for a coffee in the studio, I had noticed one of her paintings on the wall was from that EXACT day on our favourite island! I recognized the trees and scene from that day! Needless to say we had to have it! What a special way to remember such a great day and one of our favourite places. We absolutely love it. Melissa Jean is beyond talented. Her composition, colours, and detail are out of this world. When anyone comes over to our home, it is the very first thing they mention and look at. We enjoy our painting every single day! Thank you Melissa!

We really enjoyed the experience of having Melissa Jean paint a Sunset Scene for us. We are ecstatic with the final product. She was able to use her immense talent and positive energy to capture our view of a gorgeous Lake of the Woods sunset with bright vivid colours with incredible detail. The painting gives us the opportunity to have a piece of summer regardless of the season. Thank you Melissa Jean! Tony & Margaret Tella

Our experience with Melissa from beginning to end on the commissioning of a custom painting was brilliant to say the least. Melissa took the time and asked the right questions to really understand what I was after. She came into our space and provided multiple.physical options for where the art piece would look best. Melissa went as far as to work with me and sneak the painting (it was a surprise gift) onto the wall in which we decided it would go while I made sure the birthday person was out of the house. We absolutely love the piece she created for us and look forward to the prospect of future projects with her. Thank you so much Melissa.

We had a painting done by Melissa Jean of the area overlooking our cottage. It is a beautiful, one of a kind piece. Melissa was such a treat to work with, and her talent is incredible. Thanks Melissa Jean for this amazing piece! The Johnson family.

We had talked about bringing a piece of Lake of the Woods home for years. When we looked at the best way to do that, we found Melissa. Many of the paintings she had done in the past spoke so loudly to us. The love and appreciation we have for Kenora and Lake of the Woods could be seen in her work. We sat down with her to discuss doing a custom painting of a scene that we hold dear. Working with her through the collaboration process was amazing as she shared ideas with us while also picking up on things that made the scene unique to us. It was during this time that we found another one of Melissa's paintings in a gallery that we couldn't let go. In the end, we are left with an amazing piece of custom art that beautifully captures one of our most treasured places in the world and a second piece that reminds us of our many boating excursions. Thank you Melissa. This winter is going to be easier to get through because of your work!
