Stars On Canvas auction ends and this painting sold for £325 – WOO HOO!!!

That’s £426 raised for the Willow Foundation. Brilliant!

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.

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.

Hammond House Party – Raising the curtains with art

The Round Georges Public House, 14-15 Sutherland Rd, Brighton Tel. 01273 691833

In the gallery at The Round Georges is an exhibition of original paintings, limited edition prints, and my Smartdeco Collection: Art led home wares such as poppy print cushions, seaside lampshades and jellyfish bathmats.

The exhibition opened on 3rd November with a House Warming.  The exhibition comes to an end next Saturday 8th December when we’ll be moving out in style with a swinging sixties themed Hammond House Party. 

Now I’ve finally started using email wizardry to stay in touch with folk, I’d like to invite you all to my party!  If you live locally, you are welcome to show your face, pop in for a quick drink or join us for a bit of a party. Yes, It is an art exhibition being used as an excuse for a party! so if you’d just like to see the art before the party warms up, I’ll be there from 7pm and would love to show you my work. If you’d love to come, but are miles away from Brighton, you can join us in spirit. 

Come join the party in a room full of furnishings to Brighton up your home and fab gift ideas for the forthcoming festive season.

Round up! Round up! Get out the house and get in a round of drinks at The Round George's Public House, get down to some house music, boogie to bungalow and maybe even warm up to the festive season ahead.
