Matt Jeanes is Runner Up in Artist’s & Illustrator’s Artist of the year 2014

5 December 2013

Exciting news.. Matt has come fourth in Artists & Illustrators Artist of the Year competition for his painting of Campbell the dog. Over a thousand entries were received and just 50 were judged in the final selection for the competition. He wins a share of £500 of art materials courtesy of online art materials retailer GreatArt. “Watercolour is perhaps the trickiest medium for keeping colours fresh and distinct,” the magazine writes, “so we were particularly impressed with the control shown in the fluid brush marks of the dog’s fur and the detailed books on the shelving in the background.”

The painting will be exhibited and will feature in the Artists & Illustrators exhibition in January 2014 at the Mall Galleries, London. The exhibition itself will be open to the public from 6th – 19^th January 2014, daily 10am – 5pm

TYNDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL Art Project

24 July 2013

I was contacted by Mr ROSS NEWMAN the head master at TYNDALE PRIMARY SCHOOL.

His three year term at this school is done and he leaves to start at another school in September, all the current pupils adore him but he is now moving on.

The school had six slightly tatty areas they wanted to ‘dress up’, so I suggested we get the pupils to draw themselves and each other… and, as a symbol of the school is ‘a tree’… we could get them to develop TREES in different SEASONS for each of the panels.

I worked with a mix of specially selected children (who we thought may benefit from the ‘art’ experience) on two separate days. The first day they drew Mr Newman, themselves and each other. The second day they drew ‘Trees’ in all different weather and seasons.

I then took this work, chose the best trees and incorporated all of them into the 6 panels/murals (Winter, Spring, Easter, Summer, Autumn and Christmas).

The panels have been illustrated and scanned, then made into the 6ft panels by an excellent local graphics and signage company called ‘Artwork Solutions’.

The children were elated and excited to see themselves painted into the pictures and were even more thrilled to know it was all based on their efforts.

Mr Newman moves on in July 2013 and now leaves not only a legacy of great work and improvement at Tyndale School, but also the 6 areas representing ‘the pupils of 2013’ (and himself) for years to come.

25 April 2013

 

Hello everyone,  Firstly let me say “Thank you’ for following MJ/PA supporting me and my art in the last year.. It means such a lot and I wouldn’t survive as an artist in this tough time if it wasn’t for your support and encouragement. Keeping myself and my work ‘out there’ is down to word of mouth, shares and comments on networking sites and passing on e-mail flyers to friends/Family and asking them to do the same. My website is my shop window and.. Tah Dah!.. it’s just been totally re-launched and up dated.

The Art has been revised, it now has a viewing carousel so you can pick the art you want to view and it has a new ‘Teaching’ page.. subtle tweaks but ideas that I feel make MJ/PA easier to access and enjoy.

Please take time to have a look (or ANOTHER LOOK), have a cuppa and if you like what you see pass me on to all your friends or get in touch.
