I can’t paint a dark figure.
No matter what happens around the figure, there’s still that light from within. Knowledge is ultimately cellular and intuitive - it’s in our bodies. Art, if it’s to be truly good, needs to tap into that level of inner knowing, that inner light.
The many layers of my paintings and drawings are a basic part of that search for
inner knowledge. In my drawings I use six different charcoals - the layers upon
layers are a way of getting to the point of connection where a couple of strokes
finish the work. When that happens, the link between the work and me is literally
physical.
That total connection is important - in the end, every part of a painting has to work. The color has to seem spontaneous and haphazard, but if you open yourself up, the
corners will be as important as the central figures. I learned long ago that the most
effortless-looking painting isn’t effortless. Nevertheless, the technique isn’t what
matters; it’s just the means of getting there.

- Tango Pants #7 by Mel Rea, Acrylic and Pastel on Torn CanvasBy Mel ReaLocated in Atlanta, GAMel began her artistic career as a devoted clay sculptor. However, as time passed, she began to long for a change. Several years back she explored new options while exhausting more mediums than she can recall. It was during this period that she discovered a small batch of beeswax left behind from the last of her grandfather's beehives. Mel's grandfather, Sam Sekerak, spent his childhood in Russia where he was inspired to build an apiary farm. His dream came true as an adult in the States where he built and farmed his own set of beehives. As a young girl, Mel felt such a sense of peace walking amongst her grandfather's hives. She developed a very deep connection, respect, and appreciation for Mother Nature. Like many artists, she is a constant source of inspiration. This connection along with that old batch of beeswax is what led my transition away from clay and into encaustic painting (painting with molten beeswax). She is grateful for the intense labors of the beautiful honeybee, and consider beeswax a unique gift to be treasured. As a strange twist of fate, her name is translated in the Greek word for "honeybee". She loves traditional Japanese pottery and contemporary Japanese painting. The soft satin finish of the beeswax along with the ability to incise elegant clean lines, was just what she'd longed to achieve. While many Japanese works of art...Category
