Challenge for November Lockdown
Despite having many things to be thankful for, it was hard not feeling down hearted at the thought of a month in Lockdown. I’ve decided the best way to get through whilst maintaining some sort of sanity is to find something to give me purpose, motivation and focus – something to occupy my mind and…
Loxley Canvas – adding paint
Started to add a base of flesh tones. The paint is going on incredibly smoothly – I’m loving these canvases. I’m using raw sienna and light read with white for my flesh tones – these are my go-to colours for portraits. Another layer of paint, the colours are starting to stand out on the linen….
Christmas is getting closer
We have skipped forward a couple of stages here – I seem to have neglected to photograph the first colour layer in oils. Hopefully the recording I’ve been doing will show the progress from monotone to this stage so watch this space. This has now had a couple of glazes of colour over the skin…

Happy Christmas 2016
How fast 2016 has gone – it’s nearly Christmas so here is a link to the painting of my Christmas card for 2016. Music is from the album ‘Adore’ by Chris Tomlin. Enjoy!
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
