Challenge for November Lockdown

Happy Christmas 2019
Here’s a speedy painting of this years Christmas card – Madonna and child (not newborn) so probably around the time the wise men were visiting. Everything started off fine, but went pear shaped around her chin just over half way through – goodness knows what I was doing! This is why I enjoy oils so…
Face on Linen (2)
Well I think I got quite carried away when I started on this painting. It occurred to me that I had intended to leave the hair unpainted – never mind, the application of a little alcohol with a toothbrush has taken it back. I may yet repaint the hair, but at least I can see…

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
