This painting by Brighton based artist Jacqueline Hammond has now been purchased by a collector from France on the Saatchi Online website.
The painting is a favourite of many and is actually the last in the ‘Brighton Tidal Sunsets’ series of paintings to be snapped up. All the original artworks in this series have now sold. The buildings of Kemptown and the Victorian arches that stretch the length of the seafront are detailed in the painting. Each piece in the collection (untypically) depicts the view looking east of Brighton Palace Pier towards the Marina, which isn’t often painted by Brighton’s artists.
Pynch have become my (favourite) band. I found ‘Somebody Else‘ during lockdown somehow. Don’t know quite how but that song instantly instantly hit home.
I’ve been following their progress and doing my best to promote them ever since. I think they’re an indie band worth signing.
Now they’ve released their album I feel proud and wish them all the best as they rise and reach more music lovers, knowing all the words and making videos of them I’d say I’m convinced. I love them and I think everyone will soon catch on 😍
A bit like when I decided Bristol band The Groove Farm were ‘my band’ in the late eighties Indie music scene. But worse!! 😆
Think this is what I watched / heard first-
A young lad singing and playing his heart out is what I heard/saw on YouTube.
Instantly I got hooked on the music and the lyrics stick quick, so they must be good. Glad i made recordings of the first time I saw them. Love the interaction between them as a band; they are good mates, you can tell. It was only later I found out the bass guitarist is frontman, Spencer Enock’s brother Scott. With cheeky chappie James on the keyboards and I’ll never forget the energy, yet ease with which they performed that day at the ‘Technicolour Festival” in Brighton.
Pynch hit the spot in that peculiar patch of time, in that there pandemic in the 20’s, I can hear myself say, if I get to grow old”
Level headed and humble in person, Spencer is a true musician and writer, the lyrics to me are happily memory laden or give grounded, observational insight on life and show genuine emotional intelligence.

James is the keyboard player (missing from 2nd Hope n Ruin) and the lovely Julianna giving it some on the drums.

I always knew they’d make it.

Snailspace Brighton is a vibrant and exciting, FREE, public art event in Brighton & Hove. Admire 50 giant painted Snail sculptures and over 50 Junior Snails as you explore our great city at a snail’s pace.
Following on from the hugely successful Snowdogs by the Sea art trail in 2016, Martlets, has once again teamed up with Wild in Art to deliver a mass participation sculpture trail that is great fun for families, artists, and businesses, all whilst raising vital funds for a local charity.
The sculptures can be found throughout Brighton & Hove, highlighting our city’s historical landmarks, architecture and creativity in our vibrant community.

At the end of the summer term I spent several weeks in and out of various classrooms to paint the snail. Here I am at the school assembly to present the finished snail painted with the children of St Marks Primary and being auctioned in aid of @martletshospice. the snails will be all over Brighton – ours will be in St George’s Church in Kemptown
Here’s some photos of the finished snail being shown to the children of St Mark’s Primary School in East Brighton.
