Bids have gone up on eBay for my paintings in Stars On Canvas 2012

Exciting news! There’s several more bids than yesterday, hope they keep coming! Bid now at www.starsoncanvas.org.uk

Stars on Canvas is a colourful and imaginative art project created by hundreds of well-known names from the worlds of art, illustration, sport, music and entertainment. Collectively, the canvases can be seen as an exploration of modern culture – how we come to revere a diverse range of stars for their particular talents, skills and personalities, and sometimes simply for their fame.

This is your opportunity to own an original piece of artwork from a collection of over 300 artworks by stars from the worlds of stage, screen, art, music and sport, including canvases by Mo Farah, Wayne Rooney, John Hurt, Mike Leigh, Albert Irvin, Rankin and many, many more.

Bid now at www.starsoncanvas.org.uk

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

eBay auction dates: Thurs 22 Nov – Sun 2 Dec 2012
Free public exhibition @ Maddox Arts, London W1 from Thurs 29 Nov – Sat 1 Dec 2012

The eBay auction will finish on the penultimate day of the public exhibition. As a reader of my blog, facebook page or newsletters I’d like to think you are a fan of my work! Therefore may I encourage you to log in and get the bidding going by placing a bid for the paintings I’ve created for Stars on Canvas. It would be fantastic to have already reached a good price by the 29th November, which is when the press, celebrities and all those involved will be attending the launch of the public exhibition.

Painting of Vanessa Feltz and her husband Ben Ofoedu for Stars on Canvas 2012 in aid of The Willow Foundation.  Jacqueline takes commissions to paint Pebble Head Portraits of people. Using the natural contours of pebbles to paint the subject’s features, the pebbles are then glued to the canvas as the heads for the bodies of people caricatured.

Bid for this painting online now at www.starsoncanvas.org.uk

Vanessa Feltz is involved in the event by donating a canvas, I am hoping she’ll want this painting for herself, or perhaps her husband Ben Ofoedu, of dance music act Phats and Small, who has already tweeted about it, may put in a bid and give it to her for Christmas!

How it Works – Online auction 22 November to 2 December 2012

You will therefore require an eBay account to bid. eBay will inform you if you have the winning bid. Winning payments will be taken via PayPal.

Canvases will be sent by post as soon as payment is received. UK Postage costs will appear on eBay page. International rates will be available on request.

Public exhibition

The painting below depicts a typical day ‘Beside the Seaside’ here on Brighton seafront. In this piece I have used several pebbles from the beach as heads for the people 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. The best example of this was for the Royal Family piece where I found Prince Philip, the ‘Pebble Head’ version, on the beach and he didn’t require any cosmetic pebble enhancing surgery! 

Bid for this painting and raise money for The Willow Foundation

Painting to be Auctioned in Aid of Teenage Cancer Trust

I have donated this painting to an auction in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust to be held on Thursday 14th June 2012 at 7.30pm at Wickwoods Country Club in Hassocks.

The Groyne Series – “Sit and Throw”
(Acrylics on Canvas, black frame, 40x40cm)

‘Sit and Throw’ is an early piece in a popular series titled ‘The Groyne Series’ that depicts teenagers and kids having fun and hanging out on the stone walled sea groynes along the shoreline of the beach where I live in Brighton. Often submerged, the groynes are revealed as the tide changes and make ideal platforms for jumping into the sea or ‘tomb stoning’, as it’s referred to in the media.

The series came about from observing these lively activities on those (rare) sunny days spent by the seaside at my local beach, although people often remark that the scene could be anywhere in the world. The silhouettes of the figures are defined against the brightness of the sky, evoking fond memories of the height of summer.

Several in this series have already been sold at previous exhibitions. All the initial mini 10x10cm paintings have been snapped up, but this is the first 40 x 40 cm canvas in the series. To view the other works in the series take a look at The Groyne Series Gallery on my website.

Local established artists have kindly donated work to be auctioned off in a Silent Auction format.  Each painting will be assigned a number and there will be ballot points where you are able to fill out your contact details and the highest amount you wish to bid on the painting. Teenage Cancer Trust is the only UK charity dedicated to improving the quality of life and chances of survival for the six young people aged between 13 and 24 diagnosed with cancer every day.

Artists include: myself (obviously) Karen Burt, Claire Fearon, Romany Mark Bruce, Julieanne Gilbert, Grant DeJonge & Julia Schultz and many more…

All proceeds from the auction will go to the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Any Queries please contact Karen on karenannburt@aol.com
