I just had to do another painting for Stars ON Canvas. In fact I could’ve done several of the celebrities taking part as ‘Pebble Head Celebs.’ This could be the beginning of a new series for The Pebble Heads. I wonder if Vanessa might bid for it? And if any other celebs would like their Pebble Head Portrait done, then bring it on! Or anyone else for that matter; they make a very unique present. I’ve been commissioned to paint several family groups as presents for birthdays, Valentines day, weddings.

Commission a Pebble Head Portrait of your family or friends – to give as a Christmas present.

JAG Gallery artists at Cornell’s Cafe, St James’s Street, Brighton

I recently hung a few of my prints and a couple of originals alongside some of the other JAG artists’ work at Cornell’s Cafe located at the top of St. James’s Street, Kemp Town.

It’s a cool space and I think the results look good. Girl Friday and I didn’t have time to try the coffee or food however we took a few photos and chatted to the nice, friendly staff who took a real interest in what we were up to. It’s not surprising really, we couldn’t find anyone ‘in charge’ so we must have looked like a couple of mad women, desperately struggling with the extremely crumbly wall which made banging a nail in near to impossible, moving tables, standing on seats all whilst trying not to disturb the clientele too much. Eventually, sometime later, having raised a few eyebrows and comments from staff and customers alike, we succeeded. Phew!

I must pop back in sometime soon to sample their wares and to check of course, that nothing has fallen off the wall.

Art Jag Gallery Painting Works in progress

Off The Wall – Experimental painting aborted.

Whilst priming the board for my piece for the outside wall and thinking what to paint, I thought I’d just whack some paint directly on the wall. The ridges of glue left behind from the printed canvas on there before made a great texture for picking up paint and overlaying colours.

The result was a kind of Monet effect, until abstraction became an abortion! Classic case of of going too far and ruining it. This is what can happen when I don’t have anything in mind as to what I’m painting, I don’t take it seriously and get carried away, then attempts to rescue the piece only make it worse. Not the best method for such a public piece. Best get down there again tomorrow and do something with it.

It wasn’t too bad at this stage:

Jaxx experimenting on the outside wall of JAG Gallery in Brighton today.
