MELANIE WILLIAMS - ENCAUSTIC ART GALLERY

I have been extremely busy painting over the last month. I live with an ultra rare bone condition called 'Hypophosphatasia' and I have started on a brand new drug. The injection sites are causing extreme itching but because I have needed to distract myself from scratching I have been very productive with my artwork. There is always something to be positive about isn't there? If you wish to read my blog about my journey with this condition click the link to HPP and Me #enc

I have now finished the painting of Cnicht. I felt that the sky was threatening snow so I decided to add some snowflakes and a slight dusting. I think it has added something a bit special to the image.

Now I am having difficulty walking due to a rare condition I am finding it increasingly difficult to find inspiration as I can’t get out to sketch or take photos in the locations I love.

I just love to experiment with my encaustic art. I constantly try new things - often with very muddy results - but sometimes the unexpected is such a revelation. The last few days I've been trying out some new pigments. What do you think? #EncausticWax #MelanieWilliams #art #Wales #Bala

I am excited to say that I have now received my copy of the 'Imago Mundi' book - 'Contemporary Artists from Wales'. Artists chosen to be part of the book had to produce their work on a 10 x 12cm canvas.. This was quite a challenge in itself. There are 140 different Welsh Artists in the book all conveying a message about Welsh culture. I now look forward to the exhibition and will keep you posted. My second artwork is published in 'The complete Guide to Art Materials & T

I've been invited to create a canvas for the Welsh collection for‪ "Imago Mundi‬" The main ambition of the collection is to pass on to future generations a visual map of human cultures; in this case for Wales. Fancy being a part of that eh? http://www.imagomundiart.com/​ Quote from the Imago Mundi website: "Imago Mundi is the collection of works commissioned and collected by Luciano Benetton on his travels around the world, involving, on a voluntary and non-profit basis, es
