    Distraction Techniques

    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

    'ARTWORKS' EXHIBITION

    We had a glorious trip over to Aberdyfi yesterday to deliver my paintings to Artworks. The journey in itself was inspirational. I am presently showing work on their guest wall and the exhibition runs: 22 June - 19 July 2019. I have chosen tonal pieces to exhibit this year full of texture and intrigue. I've been experimenting a bit more with abstracts and the one below is called 'Days gone by' or 'Hen Oes' in Welsh. The other images are of mountains and the sea. I hope y

    Exhibition at Ty Meirion is fab

    The launch of the exhibition at Oriel Ty Meirion Gallery last Thursday evening was a wonderful event and I thank all of you that were able to come. Mima, the gallery owner, had displayed my work perfectly. The lighting showed up the texture and colours in all their glory. I was thrilled to be able to explain the process to so many people and was elated when I sold some work. Mima had put on a spread of nibbles and drinks and this made everything extra special. It was als

    Purple Haze

    Over the last few days I have been working on a different project. It's been great joy to play and experiment once again now that all the hard work for the exhibition is under my belt. Thinking of the birds hunting for seeds amongst these winter teasels. #Purple #encaustic #wax #melaniewilliams #bala #wales #gallery #snowdonia #celfgain #artcollector #artist #artwork #originalartwork #welshart #encausticzone #oilandwax #abstractrealism #teasle

    New Artworks at the Gallery

    I have today put up some new artwork at the Tan yr Hall Gallery in Bala. We have a cooperative and today I am enjoying sitting in and meeting the people perusing the artwork. People love to meet the artist although I don’t tell them which is mine so I can hear the comments first! The artwork can be bought direct from me or through the gallery.

    Inspired by Ceri

    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 have been lucky enough to have been allowed to use the fabulous photos taken by Ceri a mountaineer and photographer. So ........ a work in progress.

    After a difficult month I decided to heat up the wax today. I began by making encaustic medium and then of course, once I had the wax melted I decided to carry on with my artwork. I'm inspired by 'Red' at the moment! #Encaustic #wax #artwork #melaniewilliams #Bala #Wales #Poppies #Poppy
