23.01.2022 This term our wonderful students will be focusing on creating art from rubbish that would normally end up in landfill! Their first project will be a mixed media artwork based on this piece that I created during the week.

22.01.2022 Today’s painting, trying out some new colours from Golden. Delicious!

22.01.2022 Playing with colour, form and line on my iPad. A great way to find the right colour palette and composition to later apply to canvas.

20.01.2022 Closer to completion, I think. Acrylic on canvas Title: Surely the Sun will Rise again #melaniereesart

20.01.2022 Very happy to say I’ve broken through many months of artists block and have finally produced something! Still a WIP. Title: Surely the Sun will rise again. Acrylic on canvas So much love to you all during this crazy difficult time in history.

18.01.2022 Today I enjoyed painting this peaceful scene from my head. I usually save this style of painting for wall murals but it’s feeling more and more natural and me to paint this way, moving away from non-representational art to otherworldly landscapes.

18.01.2022 Gave these bad boys some sunny lovin today. Now what to wear them with? #melaniereesart

11.01.2022 I’m working on another very large mural at a very special primary school and having the most wonderful time painting it! Not even half way there and not a lot time left to complete it Determined to have it finished in the next few weeks.

10.01.2022 Relates. I was born to quarantine. Nailing it!

09.01.2022 Some interesting and valid points made here.

08.01.2022 Here are some photos taken today of a large mural I’ve been working on in a primary school very dear to my heart. This school celebrates 40 wonderful years in December and it was 40 years ago that I started kindergarten here! Happy Birthday Maribyrnong! #melaniereesart

06.01.2022 Very hard to get my painting done with these two babies distracting me with such endless cuteness

05.01.2022 Mixed media on canvas Inspired by Spring in the air and love in my heart

04.01.2022 Acrylic on canvas Just letting go and letting it all be, on canvas and in life. I surrender to what is. Life is easier without resistance. I’ll call this one Surrender.

04.01.2022 This WIP needs some love today. Still struggling to overcome this anxiety around painting that’s placed a huge block in the creation of art over the last 9 months so we will see. #melaniereesart

03.01.2022 This is a triptych I painted today in the classroom as part of a lesson plan on how to keep your colours vibrant and also on the science behind complimentary colours and how to use them. It’s also my 25 year wedding anniversary and I’m feeling all loved up This piece is called Love Buzz.

03.01.2022 Playing with oil paints again. I so badly want them to work for me but they just aren’t my thing. I’m too impatient!

03.01.2022 Enjoying playing around with oils.

02.01.2022 This very large school wall mural now has an almost completed sidewall. I think I need to pop a little fishy in that water

01.01.2022 My latest wall mural is coming along. No planning, just going with the flow, trusting the process.
