Thanks to you Gaynor I've just done a landscape painting that had my best ever foreground foliage, a good middle ground semi abstract field and a good sky........ BUT they didn't go together. So I haven't the skill to make them go together and then I had a brainwave? I found my Stanley knife and chopped off the top third (it was an a canvas board) and surprise surprise I now have TWO really good paintings. I wouldn't have thought about that if it hadn't been for your inspiration to do anything and never give up. Take care.

Spring has sprung in Gaynor's studio. Amazing that good old Cad. R. med. made such a lovely neutral pink. I like it! lightening Reds is so challenging - too cool, too warm, or goldilocks perfect. I pretty well put most of my reds in their beds and mainly use Pyrrole PR254. I find I can warm or cool it easily. I'd forgotten how much I liked Cad. R. Lt. It makes a good, more opaque orange when warmed. Thank you for giving us this video when you are so busy. Take care of yourself.

My favourite pink is on the Amsterdam standard colour chart and is called Venetian Rose. I downloaded the chart and had it professionally printed.

Hi Gaynor, where do you get your frames from? I’ve been pricing and sourcing frames for my art to sell, the glass alternatives are interesting and I’ve struggled to get away from the ‘purist’ idea of real glass, but it’s really not practical in the post, also same thing with real wood frames, lovely idea but soooo expensive, then I found recycled polystyrene frames that look really good, so why not, got to be better for the planet and more of the value in the art work.
