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. Â 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!

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!Â
Bid for this painting and raise money for The Willow FoundationÂ

Stars on Canvas 2012 is now live!
I am pleased to announce that Stars on Canvas has now launched and bids on some of the artworks have already reached several hundred pounds. Mo Farah’s canvas currently has the highest price at £670 with 22 bids. There are over 300 artworks to bid on, and two of them are mine. I don’t quite have the same celebrity status but I am still hoping to raise a decent amount for The Willow Foundation. So if you are a fan of my work, this is where you come in….

It was an exciting afternoon today as two of my art print deckchairs were featured on The Alan Titchmarsh Show. He even sat in one! The Life’s a Beach Deckchair and said it was ‘beautifully painted.’ Watch the progrramme by clicking this link –  Jacqueline Hammond’s deckchairs on The Alan Titchmarsh Show ITV

Just seen them! He sat on them and said they were beautifully painted, better than the usual striped ones. Repeated on ITV+1 at around 4.30pm

Summer might be over for the rest of us in the UK but for Alan Titchmarsh the grass is always greener and it’s never too late to enjoy sitting in a deckchair in the garden. For those in warmer climates or with a holiday home abroad, snap up one of my art print deckchairs as Alan Titchmarsh will be talking about them on his show this Friday 26th October, 3-4pm on ITV.
My poppy pieces are popular with visitors at exhibitions. This deckchair uses a detail from a painting in The Signification of the Poppy series. It was originally going to be used for a garden makeover programme with Titchmarsh but it was decided he’d prefer to feature them on The Alan Titchmarsh Show.
Hope I remember to catch the programme on the day!
