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.
The Groyne Series came about from observing the shapes of teenagers and kids playing and jumping into the sea from the sea groynes along the shoreline of the beach in Brighton. These paintings seem to evoke memories of the height of summer for many people and the location could be anywhere in the world.
This painting sold for $750 on Saatchi over the weekend.
‘Stand and Stare’ (100x100cm Acrylic) is from the Groyne Series which is an evolving body of work, with 22 paintings now sold, there’s actually not many of the initial pieces left! View all pieces in the Groyne Series here on my website where artworks are also available as prints.

Life’s a Beach, acrylic painting by Jacqueline Hammond
I’m pleased to say that my painting ‘Life’s a Beach Two’ was selected by Saatchi online for a collection on their homepage called ‘Last Days of Summer.’ Whilst I am delighted and really should upload some more artworks to their website, I’m determined to spend my last days of summer painting sunflowers in France, rather than posting paintings on the internet! Hopefully visitors looking at the collection might dare to visit my website at http://www.jacquelinehammond.co.uk if they want to see more.
