Righty-ho, we’ve reviewed allllll the things we’ve been doing. What do we work on now? What are we carrying forward and what are we gently expelling from our lives? Let’s get specific, grab some details and prioritise how we move forward. Break steps down rather than plunging in to the deep end and make sure we’re aligned with big ideas we’re swimming towards. Do you have small and large rewards for each stage? Now let’s get some cheerleaders in place. Who’s in your team? How will you keep on track? Now, we invite you to tell us how you … as always, there’s lots more to chat about.

108 - in review
We often overlook appreciating how far we have developed, but in order to consider what we want to take forward it’s a good idea to think about how much we have achieved, what we want to progress and what to let go. Which habits just aren’t cutting it any more. What did you commit to, but didn’t do-is that because it was someone else’s idea and just doesn’t fit you? Who distracted you? Why did you let them?! What’s been great? What worked? This week we’re taking a pulse. Taking a moment to figure exactly what lights us up and let’s ditch what doesn’t! As artists, Karen and Gaynor have some solutions, ideas and aspirations for balancing creativity in all its guises while taking a realistic look at what needs to change.Now, we invite you to tell us what you’re up to… as always, there’s lots more to chat about.

107 - keeping your hand in
Summer is lovely; blissful long days and warm evenings, holidays, playing on the beach, in the park, visiting places and visitors making memories. But what about our art? How can we integrate the absolute need to create with fully living, engaging and making the most of the welcome distractions we face daily? What can we do that provides a creative fix while still meeting the needs of the people around us (who we’re obviously very glad to see!).As artists, Karen and Gaynor have some solutions, ideas and aspirations for balancing creativity in all its guises while having people they love around more.Now, we invite you to tell us how you manage the balance… as always, there’s lots more to chat about.

Artists. Let’s free up our brains and shake off the constraints of painting or producing work for a reason. Developing our work, our skills and our practices comes in so many forms. @gaynorljart is finding freedom in actually using a sketchbook after years of envy and frustration-and @karengeorgeart is sharing her love of outdoor sketching with others, which is fun and freeing too. Same, Same But Different. We make the rules. We get to do what works for us. Over to you! We invite you to tell us how you rip off the constraints of producing work to discover what else you like… as always, there’s lots more to chat about.

105 - why do people buy art?
Recently several instagram posts sparked a conversation between @karengeorgeart and @gaynorljart - all around the reasons why people buy art. @emuplops @carriescottcurates @iamfrancebrunel and @lorimirabelli fired our chat (specific posts linked below) and gave us pause for thought. We asked listeners if they’d like a chat around the subject and received an overwhelming yes. How do we want to live? Why do certain artists or paintings jump out at us? Why do we covet a certain art style? Is it because we don’t create in a certain way, or we love the story the artist is telling… is it the colours, the memories, the place, the person… perhaps it’s all of those things. Can we even articulate why? What does what we collect say about us? Some people don’t consider themselves creative and collect art to feel a connection to the world of art, buying a piece that brings them closer to an artist. Others invest and are quite clinical, perhaps some work is bought purely as decor. All the reasons are valid, but what’s your reason? Do you know? Over to you! We invite you to tell us why you’re drawn to certain works… we think there’s lots more to chat about.
