What to do when things don’t go to plan? Be grateful for the upgrade of course!  Things that go wrong can turn easily to opportunity, giggles or happy mistakes. Don’t believe us? There’s a lovely cliché about silver linings which we reckon is just how lovely life can be. ( No one’s turned into Pollyanna!) let us know what you think.

What inspires you? People, artists, workshops, landscape…all of the above? Hopefully some of what gets us painting inspires you too. Stepping out of our comfort zones definitely helps, and we find other people doing well gives us something to smile about.

Money. We LOVE it, but we all too often squirm when the subject comes up. Ohhh the discomfort of talking prices with clients, asking for the true value of a piece, or just making it easier to buy. *sigh* Let's face it, most of us need a rethink. We've got some ideas.

When your podcast editor writes the note “there's a bunch of artists' names in this one, have fun lol” you know it’s a goodie!

What can we say? We’re suckers for an artist community! Also, we chat about our thoughts, attitudes and plans for showing in a group.

He is an elected RAW academian, a long-term resident of St Ives' historic Porthmeor Studios, and a prominent member of the Newlyn Society of Artists. He work is exhibited and sold throughout the world.

Gareth Edwards' daughter, Kate Reeve-Edwards is a professional writer and runs her own art writing business, Cultural Capital Arts.
