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…
Lockdown challenge update 1
It’s less than a week into lockdown and the days have passed relatively quickly so far – I think having a focus and something to keep me occupied definitely helps. I’m posting progress for the first 4 days. These images are very much snapshots – if I’m to post regularly while keeping up with my…
Article in Paint – magazine for the SAA
Feeling very pleased with the arrival of the SAA’s Paint magazine today containing, amongst other things, an article I wrote detailing the painting of Charlie and Anna on their wedding day.

Where to in 2019
I find the beginning of a new year the perfect time to reassess… I don’t mean make new year’s resolutions – that feels like setting myself up to fail, but I like to plan where I go from here. Christmas gives a natural break to the year – chances are I’ll have finished a number…

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
