Brilliant Jackie and love the skin tones. The figures look great on the Loxley Canvas.
Amazing,what a beautiful work! I saw it in Patchings and was very impressed,I love it!
Nice artwork Jackie – I’ve (accidentally) taken on role of curating art and interesting stuff for 18 month popup gallery/ artspace that opened in May at the old Cov telegraph offices&printworks in Cov city centre. Not my normal thing but I know the guy who owns the site and hadca bit of spare time so offered to try and turn it into something groovy while it was sitting empty waiting for him to get cash /time to redevelop properly. So.. if you’ve any art or prep sketches (anything interesting basically) drop me a note and I’ll sort you some freebie gallery space as we’ve acres of it.
Many thanks for this Alan. I’ll message you
