'St. Dominic’s Previews,'

The visual ideas expressed in this series Mel calls             ” Melvision,” since he has never seen it done before. Historically, Salvador Dali in the late paintings came close, the Pop Artist’s mimicked the dots of it, and graphic art can reproduce it. But, Mel has never seen anyone else actually paint it.

The depth can be seen using stereovision techniques, which is looking at the background of the image while slowly pulling back from the original painting, relaxing the eyes. Or, on a computer screen, simply use a pair of stereovision glasses.

The subject expressed in this series came to Mel while listening to Van Morrison.
