All monies raised will go to the Willow Foundation and could help us to reach our 10,000th Special Day in 2013.

National charity, the Willow Foundation organises and funds special days for seriously ill 16 to 40 year olds. Founded by former Scotland and Arsenal goalkeeper Bob Wilson and his wife Megs in memory of their daughter Anna, it aims to offer quality of life and time to those most in need. Seriously ill is defined as any condition that is life-threatening. The aim of every special day is to provide time out from treatment allowing young adults to spend time with their family creating precious memories for the future

The painting I've created depicts a day 'Beside the Seaside' here in Brighton. I have used several pebbles 'stolen' from the beach as heads for the people (and dogs) taking a stroll along the promenade. I look for natural markings, chips and contours on the pebbles that can be used to resemble facial, hair and head gear type features. A hole in the pebble becomes a mouth, a chipped area separates the face from the hair and so on. Sometimes I paint on a face, sometimes I need do no more than a dot for an eye.

Acrylics and pebbles on canvas
20x20cm

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.

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:
