Morning Gaynor. Every time I watch you I just want to grab my paints and create. You are such an inspiration. Love the flowers in pots on small panels and the cheese plant just needs framing as is. 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you for a lovely message XX

[@guitardee1]

I agree. Art history wasn’t covered in our art lessons at school

[@felicagriswold7276]

As you spoke of light and having a hesitancy for dark made me smile. I make quilts as well as paint. I love white and pastel quilts but have never made one as they are not my "it". I'm always excited with dark and bright colors and find that I'm also leaning that way with my paintings. I start far too dark and have to work at adding the light. Interesting the things we are challenged by. I still love your garden series in the beige/tan. Not really my color but it has spoken to me since I first saw it. Interesting how something we think not our thing can really leap out at you. Thanks again for showing us to play without fear. Wishing you a lovely week full of challenges and successes! See you next week.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Felica, thank you for sharing and now I've got visions of a dark and moody quilt !!! Thank you for watching and have a wonderful week too X

[@beverlymarch7916]

Oh Gaynor,what a wonderful whirligig you have been in today’s video lol!You have treated us to so many different things to look at and shared a bit of history too.I didn’t know The girl with the pearl earring didn’t actually exist!Your drawing of her captured her so well!Charcoal is my favourite,you can do so much with it!You’ve brought Christmas to the chair painting by adding those string lights!!Whats coming next..I wonder?😀I was in awe at your flower technique on the smaller frames..you make it look so easy and I’m sure it’s not!The pink one is beautiful as is but I’m also looking forward to seeing your additions to it!You are a talented artist and you deserve your rewards!Interested to see what you have coming in the post and it’s not always about what we need…sometimes it’s about what we want!Thanks so much for this bumper packed episode!!Have a great week.❤

Hello Beverly, I don't know about cabin fever, I just love it in there ... I'll calm down a bit now, safe in the knowledge that the warmer weather is here - I hope I haven't tempted fate/snow !! Have a wonderful week X

[@guitardee1]

❤️

[@lindasteger7207]

The most important insight I have learned from you is that painting is a relationship with color, subject, personality, and faith in the creative-unknown. Come visit Chicago 🌈

[@gaynorpattle]

Ahh such a great message, thank you XX

[@lulabelle33]

Is it possible you're getting even MORE inspiring?!? I just love where you're going!

[@gaynorpattle]

I don't know where I'm going....I'm just going !!!! Have a wonderful week XX

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Such a delight, as always. I must say that the green chair is plump and looks like I could really relax in it!! Love it. What a great idea to make changes on a photocopy of a painting in progress, brilliant!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Kathy, thank you .... I often forget to photograph and print but when I do, I'm always glad I did !!! Have a great week X

[@jomassey4207]

Morning Gaynor! Love your forever changing artworks and your ability to experiment and laugh at it all. I need someone like you to stop me taking art so seriously, afterall it is through our mistakes we make breakthroughs. Your energy is contagious and makes me want to have at least 3 things on the go. Loving your slouchy velvet looking green chair with bold feet and striped wallpaper. You do great raven birds....one of those sitting on a window sash might be an added interest? Cheers, Jo.

[@gaynorpattle]

Spooky Jo, people have been posting beautiful birds on insta and they make me want to have a go !! Have a wonderful week XX

[@Samahra01]

I had a busy work morning today and saved this for after dinner and it's funny, I'm currently doing the same thing, reworking paintings! It truly helps me see how much I've evolved and it's wonderful to have layer upon layer of our stories beneath! Hope you have a wonderful week, Gaynor. It is always a pleasure to watch you create!!! Your friend across the pond, Sam❤

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Sam, apologies for this late response ! I could kick myself now for paintings that I binned when all I needed to do was rework !!!!! Thank you for watching XX

[@lindanonnenmann1112]

When youre stumped and not sure how to alter a color youre not pleased with you dont experiment wildly...you just go away and let it rest. It takes discipline to step away but it really works to get a fresh approach. The new colors on the chair backgrounder...ahhh so fresh and the string of lights add just the right amount of playfulness. Now it seems your pretty little chair has moved to the garden too celebrate the arrival of spring😊❤ Lovely and productive session today, Gaynor.

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you for your support Linda XX Have a wonderful week X

[@juliadixon-smith5416]

Hello Gaynor. What is there not to like! I wish you could bottle whatever it is that you have 😂. Love it. Thank you for another energising video. As usual I can’t wait for the next update on chairs, smalls and everything else you pull out of the bag. Those mounts you found sure do make a difference too. They really finish the pictures off. Have a lovely week. 💐

[@gaynorpattle]

Thanks so much 😊 Have a great week too X

I read a biography of Vermeer recently. I like his cityscapes. Sadly only about 32 of his paintings exist. I like watching you experiment, you have no fear.

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

I enjoyed the variety in this video Gaynor. Your 'Girl with a Pearl Earring' painting is wonderful! I might have a go at doing my version of a masterpiece! Since I have been following your channel I never hesitate in covering my paintings with white paint if I am not satisfied! I must remember to take photos of my work before I do this though. 😂 Have a great week ahead. X

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Simone, thank you....I won't put 'Girl with Pearl Earring" back in the shed !!!! Have a go, it is a great exercise and have a lovely week X

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you XXX

[@GenieGeerArtyology]

So fun to watch you and gave me a giggle! But seriously, I was yelling at the screen, "intense blue! A striking blue, please, as the background for that green chair!" And then it seemed, you added that very blue to the painting....I think....who knows what changes you've made to it by now! I recently posted a still life that I created a green mix for that I now think of as "Gaynor Green".

[@gaynorpattle]

Ah, thanks for a lovely message, very much appreciated XX

[@annrubino6252]

You are on fire, Gaynor. Thank you for making me laugh along with you at our artistic journeys. This body of work is akin to springtime itself - bursting with playful energy, a modern interpretation of so much from the history of painting. You go girl!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Ann, I'm so fire that I've missed a heap of comments !!!! Where has this week gone? Thank you for watching and saying such nice things XX

[@susanmolinari2348]

I really enjoyed! I was a little confused if you had kept the book stack or painted over it. I really liked it! The kettle with the touch of blue and yellow was perfect. Always a pleasure to watch your fascinating mind at work. And it's nice that your husband is so into what you are doing as well. Wish he would stop being shy. Lol

[@gaynorpattle]

That sounds like great fun ! Have a lovely week XX

[@RobboJ30]

A squat fat chair is how I’d describe it, and it’s full of character - love it! The large one with the now checky floor has always troubled me because the floor/wall border is aligned with the arms on the chair. It catches my eye every time. How’s about a skirting board and a dado rail or something to put the horizontals in a different plane?? So inspired by your experiments. Thanks Gaynor😊 Jill

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Jill....standing and pondering this afternoon and thought that very thought...."what about a bit of skirting?" That will be a YES then....roll on tomorrow !!! Thank you Jill and have a fantastic weekend XX

[@TJtheBee]

Always a pleasure to see you on my watch list on Thursdays! In terms of following my appetite, I'm working on a solo exhibition as a whole, and then a solo piece for a group exhibition. So I have a busy week ahead of me! And this is just coming out of my latest semester of university, so I'm barely getting a real break before I dive into this collection.

[@gaynorpattle]

OH LA LA.....ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY....sending very best art vibes XX

I'm always so happy to see you work. Love what you did with the addition of pinks in the chair painting. Also I will be watching your website to pick out a small's for myself!!! Fantastic tip on taking pictures of our work along the way & printing out to play with. I'm currently in a battle with a rabbit who last year ate all my Tulip buds off & this year I even sprayed them with a pepper type spray to deter. I have 10 buds almost ready to open & on my way out yesterday I saw He had struck again by chomping off 1 bud!!!! I've become Elmer Fudd to that Rascal Rabbit ---lol such as life here in Ohio.

Hello Anita, SO frustrating !!! Bunny is possibly thinking " oh seasoned tulips" ..... Console yourself with a Bunch from the shop ! Have a wonderful week in Ohio XX

[@lcmanndesktop9863]

Hi Gaynor, I'm watching your latest post and as you were talking about lights and darks, and I was agreeing with you LOL! All of a sudden I saw a great painting for you to practice your lights and darks on, it's right there in your studio window, behind your easel and already framed perfectly and in one of your fav color pallets! It's just what you were saying you like - keeping the painting bright and not very much black needed to create the dark contrast. Hope this makes since? Tata for now!

Hello Gwen, I do own the odd chair !!! I have a couple of antique chairs from my parents and have always liked mixing a bit of old furniture with newer things. I have a heap of interior magazines, so they help with inspiration and the wonderful Matisse interior paintings. Have a wonderful weekend in Panama XX
