This is April — Melissa's own golden retriever — bundled in her favorite scarf for one more walk through the snow.
She sits at the edge of a snowy forest, wrapped in a red-and-white tartan plaid scarf, with a small red cardinal perched on top of her head. Melissa painted the birch trunks and evergreen boughs in soft, layered washes of green and gray, with a delicate dusting of white for fresh snow catching the light. April’s coat is rendered in warm, loose strokes of gold and amber, full of the kind of tenderness that only comes from painting someone you loved.
This card was painted in memory of April, and that personal connection comes through in every detail. It has become one of Melissa's most beloved pieces — a genuine bestseller that has been carried by Anthropologie — and remains a favorite among dog lovers and longtime collectors of her work.
April in the Forest is equally suited to two very different jobs: as a warm, wintry Season's Greetings card during the holidays, or as an elegant, blank-inside thank you note any time of year. It is a strong evergreen choice all year round for any dog lovers in your life. Also available as a boxed set of 6 and a gift tag.
Pairs perfectly with its bestie — Lab and Cardinal!
