Spring - A Sense of the New
With Spring comes a sense of the new, a fresh start, so I was thrilled to move into my new Art studio at Easter. Based in Dorset and just 2 minutes from the beach, my studio is light, spacious and set in glorious surroundings with stunning views, definite fodder for an artist who loves nature! Being so close to the beach I can’t resist a walk; on a painting day you will often find me walking along the shoreline at Highcliffe, gaining inspiration and absorbing the energy of the sea before starting a days painting.

• Introducing New Abstracts & Florals
My abstract work is flowing at the moment. I wake up very early some mornings and inspiration comes to me instantly, I get images in my head and sometimes have to get up and write down the information or sketch a design. It’s normally colours or shapes that I see and how they relate to each other. As I work very closely with my feelings, they drive me forward to create, so expressing myself freely in every way is an important part of the process for me, I do what makes me feel happy, what keeps my energy in that good feeling creative space - so dancing around the kitchen is good!!

• From Concept to Completion
More and more clients are commissioning me to paint for them. I love the whole process from concept to completion. Here I explain a little more about this process and how you can commission me to paint for you.
For that personalised, unique touch why not commission an original piece of artwork. Discuss with me the size of the canvas, the style of painting and the colours that compliment your room to create your perfect painting. If you see something you like on my website and would like to have something similar, but maybe in a different size or colour then a commission is perfect for you. You can even send me photos of the room in question, sample colour boards, fabrics or wallpaper that match your decor for me to work from. I will endeavour to find the exact colour match for your choice of room.
Commissioning a painting doesn’t mean that you are going to pay more either (as is the common misconception). All my prices are calculated on the same basis whether they are for sale in the galleries or unique to you. I also offer free delivery for artwork being shipped to any UK mainland address. For a swift and personal response to discuss your requirements please call me on 07786 025779 or alternatively email me at jean@jeangdayton.com for a no-obligation quotation.

I have been very fortunate and very busy with commissions of late - I love the whole process of liaising with clients and producing the perfect painting for them, just as they’ve envisaged. I’ve written more about this process below.
With my new surroundings a fresh vibrant energy has been born within me spurring me on to bigger and better things; I have even started running again and am taking part in the Race for Life (for Cancer Research). I will also be starting my very own Creative Art Workshops details of which will be revealed soon on my website.

Something I have a passion for is the sea, sailing and yachts! Although I have only been out sailing a handful of times I consider myself lucky to have experienced the excitement of riding the waves, enjoying the thrill of being on the sea, being part of a crew (I am no expert by any means), I just know what I love and love the sea - I have had this passion since I was a little girl, maybe its got something to do with having a Father who was in the Navy in his younger years and having most of the walls in our family house filled with paintings of yachts and sea vessels in various forms - whatever happened I have been deeply influenced and these are one of my favourite subjects to paint - I really am there when I paint these beauties!
NEWS! I will be exhibiting my Yacht Seascapes at the McNeill Gallery this Summer in their exhibition
“Not Not the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition” : details will be on my website very soon.
