Artist of the Week - Diane Jennings

"Sandy Shores" by Diane Jennings

I am at my happiest when creating art. To see the painting develop before me is exciting each and every time! To be creative is the very essence of who I am and it is my passion!

I love to paint commissions so please get in touch if you have something in mind--maybe you like one of my paintings but would like a different colour or some other changes? I will be happy to work to your requirements.
I always email a picture of each stage of a commission for approval before doing any more, that way you can have more input into the finished work of art!
Almost half my work load, at the moment, is commissioned, from people seeing my work that is either already sold or from viewing some of my work that just isn’t the right colour for the room that they have in mind!
I am happy to reserve any painting and except reasonable instalments monthly/weekly until it is paid for-please ask if you would like to do that.

I also teach people to paint in my very popular classes called 'Painting My Way'
I am a Professional Associate of the SAA (Society for All Artists) which means I carry their endorsement as a tutor and demonstrator.

Boob-tiful - Unique Charity painting Auction

Boob-tiful - this is a unique painting - orchestrated by artist Diane Jennings.Diane explains:
"This painting has been created by a load of good sports in a little caravan on a campsite in Bidford on Avon using only their breasts and some paint! It was Lynnes 52nd birthday and that was the reason for the meet. As the organiser of the meet is a survivor of breast cancer we decided to raise money for this cause. It was a surreal evening creating the painting-most of the ladies had never met before but were all prepared to get their boobs out and paint or be painted for Breakthrough Breast Cancer research .The resulting work of art is beautiful. 3 of the ladies who have contributed are survivors of this dreadful illness and used their affected breast to do the print.The youngest 'artist was just 7 and the oldest was 64.The young ones have gone away with the knowledge of why it was done and are now breast aware which cant be bad. The painting is for sale on Ebay because I thought we have the greatest chance of raising the most money for the cause-please take a look and spread the word-breast cancer touches most of us in one form or another in our lives. the number of the painting is 250488697145 IT HAS STARTED AT JUST 99P SO PLEASE BID .just copy and paste it into the search bar of ebay and spread the word! "
What a fantastic idea, by a very brave group of women.....I hope it raises lots of money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer Research.

Fascinating.....

stuff......well, I think it is....see what you think:
One of our resident artists, Diane Jennings, runs regular art classes and she sent me some pictures of a rather unusual class she had recently. This particular class contained a Grandmother and Grand-daughter and it was just fascinating to see the results. Needless to say, both enjoyed themselves immensly and are justifiably proud of their respective results.....so here they are, have a look for yourself and see if you are as surprised as I was:

Diane says "I can teach almost anyone to paint, all they need to be able to do is hold a paintbrush, listen and follow my direction"

...very impressive results.....I wonder what the 7yr old girl's school teacher said??
