Building up to the May festival and Artists Open Houses by resolving some of the paintings hanging around my home studio… and starting some new ones..
New landscapes series – working title ‘Westcountry Gold’
There’s several ideas for works in this series I’ve ‘thumbnailed’ in my sketch book.
Two pieces I’ve begun and the photos below reveal their early stages of development.
Building up to the May festival and Artists Open Houses by resolving some of the paintings hanging around my home studio. I’ve yet to get to the seafront and give my gallery space the spring clean it deserves, ready to hang some new pieces. This won’t happen until the kids are back at school. There’s more paintings there that are missing the final details that bring a piece together.
Half finished or half started? Here follows a series of snippets and sneaky peeks at what been on the easel this week.
This was closely followed by ‘The Lads’Â which sold on Monday.
It was selected for a collection  Affordable Original Art for $500 and Under by Rebecca Wilson, Chief Curator of Saatchi Online and Director of the Saatchi Gallery.

The piece also featured on the Saatchi Online Facebook page:

I sold 2 paintings in 3 days, excellent news! I see this as a sign that I should be concentrating on my painting. View more of my paintings at www.jacquelinehammond.co.uk
The 2 metre wide seascape I’m painting in oils is almost there. Just waiting on the sky to dry to give it another layer then I can paint in the starlings. Should be finished by the weekend.
