I so love the fast-forward sounds of painting and scraping. Please keep being your lovely self

[@gaynorpattle]

My daughter likes them too !! Thank you for spurring me on X

[@lindasteger7207]

Gaynor, I would rather rewatch your videos than other artists. I love you coming in to your studio with GOOD MORNING Everyone! And just sharing. I learn more from watching how you hold your brush, how to select and mix colors, and the excitement you discover as you test the waters. And when you say, Good bye for now! I just have hope that beauty and color will return with the next visit. What a delightful time you give us. Cheers to you! Keep your free and loose style. Your talent and skill sharing stands far above the rest.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Linda, Heartfelt thanks for such kind words, I am very grateful to have such lovely viewers, your support is very much appreciated 🥰

[@meesh327]

I wasn't sure about the sink painting when you got started, but I am loving how it turned out! It reminded me of the outdoor sink, next to the outhouse, at my niece's rustic wedding venue. The sink area was so beautifully staged, that I photographed it! I may have to find that photo and do a painting of it. Thank you for another inspiring video.

[@gaynorpattle]

I wasn't sure either 😂but I had to give it a go and I'm really glad I did. Find your photo X

[@marypartridge5154]

I love most of all your beach paintings.

[@patriciadavis2545]

I really enjoyed your video this week. Love how you used you lest favorite (muddy) grounds in your new sketchbook first! You are just so unafraid! Such an absolute joy to watch. I have a painting in a show this month! First in ages so thanks for all your encouragement.❤️

[@sankaodell1635]

Thanks for the most uplifting & glorious 25 minutes this morning. I’m riding in my car & so wish I was in my studio when I watched this😊. Watching you is like visiting a friend.

[@gaynorpattle]

How very lovely of you ! Heartfelt thanks for such kind words X

[@lauren2527]

SO many paintings going on in this week! Love them all and love that they speak to you when you first enter cabin / "roam about" . Only you can make still-life not boring. 😄💌

[@gaynorpattle]

AHH Thanks Lauren, love you lots 😍

[@user-vx6rv2wj1v]

I'm excited by these new neutrals I'm seeing, your sink & florals are so lovely! Also, thank you for inspiring me to be more playful & to have more fun with my sketchbook- I've decided it needs to be a "no judgement" zone.

[@gaynorpattle]

Such a great comment, THANK YOU 🥰

[@kerrieb7473]

Wonderful vid Gaynor, ooooh I love your arty style and your process is so much fun to watch. I love Thursdays, because you post a new video. 😂😂😂😂😊

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Kerrie, Such a lovely comment, have a wonderful week X

[@janerogers5717]

I've loved watching 'playtime' today, so inspirational. Wonderful works of art seem to appear out of thin air! I love it when a painting speaks to you... I think some of mine are in need of speech therapy!!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Jane, this makes me smile ! Thank you for watching and supporting X

[@fionawhitfield925]

Hello Gaynor, hoping the weather isn’t spoiling your holiday if it is in this country! I have read everyone’s comments, and couldn’t agree more. Your work has such energy and vibrancy and you are such an inspiration to us all. You dance about from piece to piece, canvas to sketchbook, to paper and back again, and it is wonderful to watch. Thank you so much. Have a lovely week. 💐

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Fiona, always lovely to read your comments, always very generous and kind and they keep me dancing !! XX

[@andreaharley4047]

Hello Julie, fellow Explorer ! Have a great week X

Another satisfying video watching your process and viewing your beautiful art! Thursday morning happiness! Thank you!

[@gaynorpattle]

My pleasure 😊 Have a great week Jodi X

[@taketimetoseait396]

Composition is key, value over color, like having many at 1 time to work on, so not to get zoned in on any one area to perfect ! about the subject matter= why, what will one buy? No matter the size paper, putting a makeshift frame around instead of cut to size first. Practicing now on abstract people...wow what fun.😊 Ann, your Florida fan.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Ann, abstract people sounds like a LOT of fun, enjoy X

[@alicecilepin9370]

Love how your not afraid to change things up and go in fully with your ideas….. it’s the most fun way to paint I think…. Thanks for another great vid! 😀….. I’m in the middle of rejigging my work space, slowly getting there bit by bit….. tbh it’s been a bit of a rough time the last month or so, with my mum going into hospital for a month, she’s home now but is still not back on her feet yet, and then I ended up in hospital myself for 8 days, due to over doing things with caring for my mum and not taking proper care of myself as I have type one diabetes so yea life can be crazy sometimes, you just can’t make it up lol but yea it’s all an experience….. now I feel ready to get back into art again! I’ve treated myself to a few new supplies and now I just can’t wait to get my space organised a bit and get stuck in to playing with them….. Thanks again for all your vids love the beach scenes in particular 👌👍💗

[@gaynorpattle]

Take baby steps ! Glad to read that you are coming through what sounds like a really tough time XXX

Thanks for suggesting the BBC4 programme about abstract art. I really enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised by how many female artists were featured - need to watch it again 👍

[@gaynorpattle]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@AutumnHathaway]

That sink painted turned out so cool! At first I wasn't sure where you were going with it🤔😅 I so much love seeing your perspective Gaynor ✨

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Autumn, I'm glad you like it....my head just kept saying 'give it a go", so I gave it a go !!!!! X

[@felicagriswold7276]

Thursday mornings are coffee and your wonderful video. You have such a fun style and energetic personality that really inspires me. I’ve got a big trip coming and am planning to take my sketchbook. I want to experiment with putting some ground down in my little sketchbook that I carry around with me and practice drawing on a ground. Thank you for sharing with us. You are an inspiration for so many of us. Have a great week.

[@gaynorpattle]

Very Kind Felica, thank you. Have a wonderful trip - get plenty of grounds down XX

[@saintmartinmichele]

Always a great moment listening and seeing you ! So full of dynamism, inspiration and all that pushing me to test and grow quietly through collages, drawings and paintings. Love your semi abstracts what is a difficult approach for me . Thank you , thank you so much. Don’t change anything !

You are the person Gaynor who has inspired me the most from everyone on KZbin ( and there's a lot! ) And by the way hubby now sorting similar shelving units to yours so I can see my work properly instead of stacked on floor!! Thank you ❤❤❤❤

WOW Angie, such a massive compliment, heartfelt thanks - and YES, you need to see as much as possible. Have a great week X

[@deborahmeyers551]

Your artwork is absolutely beautiful Gaynor shapes colours everytime you put a video out I'm excited to see the artwork hear your thoughts all inspiring thanks 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

Thank you so much 😀 A lovely, lovely comment X

[@SewArtyAnna]

The one thing that keeps me watching is seeing how you adjust. As a perfectionist in my work, it has limited or stopped me being personally creative at points. I wasn’t ever taught that with art you can change it and make it different. I always thought if I hated it well that was that! In watching your videos I am able to be freer and understand that it can change. Thank you!

[@gaynorpattle]

It is still a thrill to me to shift work in any direction. I regret so much work that got 'binned' through frustration ! Don't get me wrong, I still get frustrated but move work aside and return when I can see a way forward. Have a great week X

[@CherylWilsonArt]

Enjoyed another video!!! I love how you said there are times you don’t know what you are going to do but YOU KEEP SHOWING UP! I just love your studio!!!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Cheryl, Thank you and I love my studio too ! X

[@boondoggy2]

I so enjoy your videos and your relaxed style, and you inspire me to be more free in my painting. I have the same problem, if it is even a problem, 😄of knowing when to stop. I so look forward to your videos. Thank you so much ❣

I look forward to you each week! So glad that there IG posts of yours to get me by :) Love the beach babies! I love all of it. And who knew that a sink painting could be so lovely! I am looking forward to your scenes from a sketchbook on your trip. Have a wonderful weekend! and a safe trip! Hey From Atlanta :) Roxanne

Another fab vlog. Absolutely adore your still life and the one at the end is perfect. Have a great week - don’t they roll by quickly? 😊

[@gaynorpattle]

All too fast !!! Thank you for a lovely comment, looking forward to seeing what you guys are up to X

[@SimoneWhippArtist]

I found it interesting that you put the collage down and then painted over it in your sketchbook. My habit is to paint and then collage over the top! I think I need to find other ways of doing things and not be so rigid in my approach. You help me to approach things differently Gaynor. I'm with you about not being able to leave things alone! Your beach scenes are so atmospheric and really draw me in. Have a great week Gaynor! x

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Simone, Thank you for watching, go with your intuition, it is usually right ! Have a great week too X

Thank you Dulcie, that makes my day XX

[@KathyBrooksArt]

Love your still life works! They are amazing. And that sink, wow, looking great. You are an inspiration and it's such a joy to watch and learn from you. An arty friend once said to me "There are no mistakes, only lessons" I've never forgotten that :) Have a great week ahead. And, thanks!

Hi Kathy, It is true, you never stop learning! Have a great week too XX

[@TJtheBee]

You've got a lot on the go! I'm trying to make a bunch of work as well, but I'm being held up by school and work. We're finding the time!

I wish I knew what makes me like that sink so much but I really, really do. Simple, everyday life image with limited palette?

[@marypartridge5154]

Did you study fine art at art school. Please can you tell us your art journey.??? I can't get over how you are always creating work. Has the utube channel inspired you to do more. I think you could sell this show to a TV network as it's so interesting.

[@gaynorpattle]

Hi Mary, I studied at university as a mature student for my fine art degree. My art journey is in an older video...I will find it and let you know XX

[@CharlotteMerl]

Hi Gaynor I love the idea of prepping sketchbook pages, so excited to see what you do on them! I look forward to your videos every week. I am only a beginner but you make me feel brave enough to give things a go. Do you think you may do any workshops/courses in the future? Thank you ❤

[@gaynorpattle]

Thanks so much 😊 You MUST give things a go ! I dream about running a workshop - imagine the fun - something for the future X

[@lizziebithell3013]

Loving your channel and you've inspired me to get the paints out again! my trouble is 'space'!! Please could you tell me where you got your sturdy easel from? It could be the answer to my prayers ! I need the table top to put all my materials and not much room for my table easel and I get frustrated with the clutter. I have had standing easels over the years but nothing stable enough to be able to move it about and that the dog wont knock over ! I now have 2 on the go and i feel encouraged to just play and experiment with them.....and learn !!

[@gaynorpattle]

Hello Lizzie, good to hear the paints are out...the easel came from Cowling & Wilcox and I love it ! XXX

[@denisevance1045]

Gaynor, I love your green tone in the small flowers you’re working on, can you tell me your mixture for that please?

[@gaynorpattle]

I didn't pay attention ! I have so many greens in a green bowl ! I am away now but when I get back to the cabin, I will have a remix and let you know !

[@ArtoftheMatter]

Your energy and spontaneity is so fun! I love to go back into paintings when I get the urge too. Listening to our intuition is a good thing!. A piece of art work is like a grab bag, you never know how it will turn out, but sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination. Even if we make it worse for a time, knowing there is more paint in the tube, provides hope. 😊
