Hi Twitter! This is a sampling of my art. My current series is hyper saturated urban landscapes, but I am interested in many other art forms as well. If you like my stuff please throw a dollar in my tip jar on patreon! patreon.com/michellejoymontr…

An oldie but a goodie, "Hill up 31st Street" feat.  Barrio Logan in San Diego! 🎨✨ The original has already found a new home, but I just put up prints of it on my website. #ArtisticExpression #ColorPop #GalleryWallInspo #ArtGallery #SupportLocalArtists #ArtIsLife #CaliforniaArt

"I can't draw a stick figure."  The thing is, the world needs both artists and art appreciators. It doesn't work without one or the other! I truly do need the support of people who love my work to continue making this work. So a big THANK YOU to all the art collectors out there!

I've been watching Pawn Stars with my husband lately and I'm convinced that writing on the back of the canvas will increase the value of my work. If you get a whole story about why I decided to leave the birds in this painting on the back, don't be surprised! 🤣 #sandiegopainting

In a wild turn of events I've actually uploaded something to my website! This is one of my favorite paintings I did last year. I added prints in 4 different sizes to my website along with the original.  . #balboapark #balboaparksandiego #sandiego #oilpainting #balboaparkart

Weird that @BalboaPark hasn't posted anything in a year?! Anyone know why? Here are some recent paintings I've done at the park. I'm pretty obsessed with how they look in these frames! #SanDiego #balboapark #sandiegoart #BalboaparkSD #oilpainting #pleinair #pleinairpainting
