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…
Lockdown challenge update 3
Halfway through lockdown (hopefully) so time I posted recent artwork. It’s been a tricky few days and I haven’t always managed to post on social media daily, but I have done the work. For the daily pieces I’ve been using charcoal, it’s been the quickest and easiest medium to manage this week. Apologies for the…
Christmas 2015
Started my illustration for this year’s Christmas card prescrire le viagra. This is a monotone underpainting in acrylics, establishing the features and tones. The next layers will be oils. I’m recording this so, hopefully, will have a YouTube clip with carols for you soon after I’ve finished it.
New Year, New Goals
Well it’s been a very productive start to the week, due mainly, I think, to the simple task of setting some goals for the first quarter of this year. As a result of this, I’ve scheduled various tasks in my diary to ensure I have time to paint. ‘Obvious’ you may say; ‘been doing that…

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
