remember when having a scared beginnerish moment, that you are incapable of getting it "wrong." you are the world's only source of your beautiful art. you can't get Gaynor's expression/interpretation "wrong." : D
Love the beginnerish feelings and thoughts...... And the antidote is......just change the thoughts....I can't to I can!! So simple, yet so hard!!! I love your positive mindset and sense of adventure.....play!!! Thank you so much for your inspiration.❤
I love how much love there is, for and from you, your art, new beginnings, surprising (intermediate) endings, newly discovered colors, plants, doorways, paint, everywhere, on paper, in concertinas, on canvases, hands and dirty brushes. If I get to come back another life, I might come back as yellow ocher and make love to sky blue 😅🥰
Agree, GREAT, content. All over the place…hard for me, as my planing is so intense, UGH. I want to be freer and more spontaneous and you are showing us the path. Go Gaynor!❤
Absolutely love the Malta group of paintings. The idea of doors in your concertina I can't wait to see. As usual I'm so inspired by all you do Gaynor. Thank you so much for your videos and taking us all along on your trips to places most of us will never see or experience. I get so many ideas and encouragement from your videos keep them coming and God Bless You .
Buildings a wonderful idea. You can play with ageing stonework and rusty seeping walls and texture. Very exciting to see where this goes. Thank you for sharing your beginnings, not just when you’ve mastered. It really helps people like me who have that fear of something new and you have made me bolder in experimenting. 🤗
Such lovely new ideas! Practice without intentions or expectations and be excited about small surprises. You always remind me to be fearless. 😊 love your smile and energy, Jo from NZ
Oh how lovely to start my day with you before heading off to work. Particularly thank you for sharing your thoughts & feelings about "starting" new projects, your inner dialogue - negs vs. positives - and your process of "getting on". Welcome inspiration, just what I needed to hear this morning. I'm really loving the combo of yellow ochre w/white and blues. We are having beautiful fall days here in New England, U.S. as well.
I bet your New England countryside looks amazing in the fall and lovely to read about seasons in other parts of the world ! Thank you for watching and leaving a great comment 🥰
I enjoyed your video this morning Gaynor. Amazing concertina book. I am amazed at how well your paintings turn out because you work so quickly. I am much slower and too detailed sometimes, wish I could loosen up my work. But we are all different. Thank you for posting your week of art, always appreciated. Keep going.
It took me so long to embrace my way of working and I would whole heartedly agree that we are different and we should celebrate our individual approach to art. Thank you for watching and leaving a lovely comment 🥰
Gaynor…it’s all delicious…I have physical reactions to your work. That is a first for me with RUclips artists. Thank you so much for sharing yourself.🙏
Great video yet again Gaynor. Loved your Vegetable concertina, loved your photo’s of Malta, loved the doors and balconies, loved the new work inspired by the colours of Malta and lastly love your ever changing fashion style. The whole package. Thank you again for sharing and inspiring us all. 😊
Love your Malta stuff. I think the cerulean and ochre combo is great - earthier. Many years since I was there but I’ve never forgotten the skies. Just seemed the brightest blue ever and perfect contrast to the yellowy tones of the earth and buildings. Was in Venice this year and got a door fixation😂 Have a look at Maltese balconies - it’s a whole new subject! Arabic and Moorish influences to design and colour. Thanks for cheering me up today - not a great one for me but feel better for watching you create. Jill R x
Hello Jill, your Venice fixation made me smile....how many times have I told Craig to slam the brakes on in order that I can photograph old doors, gates and sheds !!! The balconies were beautiful and before I get through the concertina, hopefully they will appear ! Thank you for watching and I hope you have a better day tomorrow ❤❤
Gaynor, my hubby just came crashing in my aet room because I had my headphones on and was yelling, "Why are you covering upso much of your painting?"😂😂 I find this hilarious. I love the risks you take with your art!❤
Gaynor you are a Thursday morning pleasure, love your concertina vegetables, so vibrant and colourful. The doors project is really interesting and inspiring and I have to say you're really good at capturing the essence of things with lovely loose drawing. Looking forward to next week.
Absolutely love your veggie concertina! It really flows from one page to the next and feels as if I am, indeed, walking through a garden looking at the vegetables growing. You inspire me to get up and go to my studio, thank you!
Gosh you have been busy! Well impressed 😃 Your concertina veg book is Amazing! I loved every page, full of interest, inspiration and playfulness 😊 l LOVE the things you get inspired by 🤩 I now look at Aubergines with a sense of wonder and creativity 😄 Never would I have ever looked at them as a subject to paint…. You make them magical 🌟 🪄 Your buildings are coming on beautifully, loving the colours, composition and the doors are going to be such fun….can’t wait!!! 😃 lovely soft greens experiment too. ❤ Great video Thank you 🌟🌟🌟❤️
Really enjoyed this one, I loved your doors and shutters. but the little sand dunes one spoke to me as soon as I saw it, even before you explained. Right away I saw the sands of the South Coast in Kwa Zulu Natal, South Africa, with the broken fences showing a time now gone. So its a universal painting really where we can all remember a time and place. Plus I love Yellow Ochre, its such a useful colour. Thanks again for a great video, its been a long day waiting for my chance to watch uninterrupted.
The reason I'm interested in yellow ochre is that I've been working using the colours of Anders Zorn and how many colours you can make from such a limited palette. It's a bit of a rabbit hole actually
So So pleased....I've decided, just this morning to reference the small beach paintings to make one bigger one ! Very excited 💃when I get excited, I imagine myself prancing with castanets, wearing a very swishy red dress 🤣Have a wonderful week XXX
@@gaynorpattle Paint in the swishy red dress, why not? I'm turning 76 next month, and my son gave me a hand made plaque that says "It's a good day to be silly" and that's so true. We can get bogged down with life. so why not be silly and enjoy yourself?
Morning Gaynor, I absolutely loved the flip through of vegetable concertina, and also the beginnings of your Malta inspired paintings. Love the colours in those. Thank you for sharing as usual. Have a lovely week💐
Crazy - before you said 'Camber,' I thought, that little painting reminds me of Camber 🤣 Fave line of this week had to be "jibber jabber" - your insights and discussions are definitely not just jabber 🤣 Lots of love, looking forward to more aloe work! 💚💚💚
You are such an inspiration! The messages to just play and just try are so encouraging. I'm an art journaler and I do urban and landscape sketching as a hobby, but you're inspiring me to try to do some work on canvas. Thank you for sharing your thought process and for being so transparent about how you work. I'm trying to soak up the last of the summer here as well. I'm in the Pacific Northwest and our glorious summers are far too short!
Morning Gaynor. I love the way you jump straight in - no boring preamble about what we're about to see 😃 Love the veggie concertina esp. at exactly 01:00 min. It's been 20 years since I visited Malta and it doesn't look like it has changed much (and still as hot). Always after watching you I want to start painting but if I do then my video won't get edited so I daren't pick up a brush for the next two days. Thanks again - Rich.
CRUMBS....why didn't you mention your fab channel before !!! I've watched your latest video and you both look as lovely as I imagined you would. I've got a lot of catching up to look forward to 🥰
Love the color mixing you did, you enthusiasm is so fun to watch (as are the doubting moments). You put it all out there! I made a concertina book today! and went to my evening pastel class. Also worked a little on a new Tunisian crochet project. I’m kinda all over the place - sound familiar? Thanks for being such an inspiration❤️🌶️🫑🍓🛻
How delightful! Thanks for speaking to procrastination, and when then negatives set in, I've written down (for my studio wall) "Progress not perfection!" as a reminder, thank you! Love the Rome florist car, concertina, and the demos of WN Yellow Ochre and blues mixes, so interesting. Your paintings inspired by Malta are looking wonderful!
Even your practice sheet is beautiful! I love how to translate your life into your art. Can't wait to see all the doors in concertina. Thank you for sharing!
I love the flower seller and seeing it progress behind you! I do enjoy a process video and watching you having multiple things going. Hope you have an in ready week! (👋🏻 from Atlanta) ☺️
Oh the vegetables are so pretty. Each flip of the page is as if we were strolling thru your garden. Love the texture.❤ i just love watching you paint. What a great idea to mount your photos on the wall to guide you in your color pallet, mood, and inspiration. I recently acquired a book with gorgeous pictures of Tuscany and I could follow your technique except with watercolors. I look forward to each and every one of your videoos!!❤
Hi Gaynor, beautiful, work and such openness and generosity, thank you! I get too cosy in my sketchbook and avoid the canvas or paper - listening to your wise thoughts will help me overcome the inner critic. Your channel is a brilliant resource. Best wishes from Durham 😊
It's a pleasure to watch this video again. I really love those three paintings. The sketch book was wonderful..I have now made one at 3 in the morning, can't wait to star using it on flowers.🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thank you Gaynor for your continued sharing and explanations to what your thoughts are. I cannot seem to get out of my own way, I have so many creative ideas, yet I cannot stay focused for the life of me. Is this procrastination, fear, perhaps a bit of both? It is utterly ridiculous to not complete my pieces when I have all the supplies that I need at hand. I am constantly switching between projects. I didn’t use to be this way. I’m not sure if this happens to others but I took an extensive on line course that was fantastic but since this I cannot seem to complete what I start. I took the course a year ago! Watching your videos truly inspire me to get going. Sending big hugs! ❤
Morning Sam, how about....instead of thinking COMPLETE, think of just spending time with your pieces, enjoy working on them, let them develop. It took me ages to stop thinking OUTCOME. If you feel overwhelmed by too much going on, put some things away, don't look at them for a good while and when you have a lull, get them out and see with fresh eyes ! Fresh eyes spark new ideas ! Have a wonderful weekend 🥰
Just found your wonderful channel! Your art is so beautiful and your process is inspiring! Thank you for sharing your thoughts and struggles with creating, and yet, still creating!! 👏🏽✨🌟
@@gaynorpattleI just wanted to add… I have been binging your videos this morning, and I just had to say thank you for being such a joyful and wonderful artist! It is such a pleasure to watch you live your artistic life and truth. I could go on gushing…I hope you keep sharing your obvious love for creating because it is such an inspiring thing !!🌟👏🏽🌟
Very informative video Gaynor. I like seeing the mixing blue with the yellow ochre - some interesting colour combinations and with the tint, tone, shade! There is so much inspiration to be gleaned from the Malta photographs. I have a question. How do you know when to start to make a painting to sell on? When does the experimentation cease and the 'real' painting start; or is it that the experimentation's evolve to be the finished piece? I have a second question. When you have an art exhibition, do you have a particular theme or are the pieces all stand alone? Love watching you Gaynor. You are my warm up before I start doing my art! ☺
Hello Simone, very good questions 😊 I put down paint freely for quite a while, then I start to see potential, an idea forms in my head and I have the sense of knowing where I'm going. It is rare for me to work on a single painting - I like to work across several in rotation with the same palette. The exhibition space can vary so it's a case of loading as much as I can in the boot and experimenting on the hanging day !! Have a great creative week🥰
@@gaynorpattle Thank you for the reply Gaynor. I think it is interesting to know other people's thought processes. I need to find a sense of knowing where I am going! I am just getting used to working on more than one piece of art at a time. 😊
I love watching you paint. It inspires me to try my own paintings. I like purples and pinks. You like yellow and green. I wonder about you. Are you married? Do you have kids? Do you make enough money from your paintings to support living expenses? You say we. Who's "we"?
Hello Connie, wonder no more...I am married with two children and NO I cannot support living expenses from selling paintings. Painting is a complete passion and something I fit in when I have the time. 'We" is usually me and my husband, Craig. When he has spare time he makes my frames ! The other 'We' is me thinking that viewers are with me while I'm sharing what's happening in the studio ! Have a wonderful week 🥰
Wonderfully inspired Malta paintings. Your color choices are interesting! Process is interesting as well. Off subject - Gaynor could you share where you got the forest green button down shirt previously in video and the gold shirt as well? Love your style both in painting and in fashion. Cheers!
Thank you 😊Both shirts are very old, and I think they came from Gap when they had free standing shops. I am one of those people who hang on to things for ages.....even known to retrieve things from the charity bag !!!! 🥰
Changing up colors is where I'm at right now. Complementary system... need more knowledge on the process... sometimes I use tooo many colors. U teach us how to use large areas for one color with values... the old less is best just hasn't kicked in yet. Julia Cameron teaches about journaling...can U help us figure out about the writing therory? 😊Ann,
Hello Ann, remember there are NO RULES ! A lot of colour is just as exciting to me as seeing one colour. It all depends on how and what you are feeling. Julia Cameron's "pages" work for me, her book came to me by pure chance about three years ago and I haven't stopped writing since ! Have a wonderful week 🥰
Hi, and thank you for inspiration. I may have missed it, but can you tell the title of the book about Hockey? Lovely colors the swatches with yellow ochre.
Just come across your channel. What a great video. Love that you share your thoughts and sources of inspiration. You make me laugh (in a good way) and I too have written Progress not Perfection in my diary. Thank you
I agree withJessButterfly, below. Love seeing what you do, but it seems you whisk them away pretty quickly before I can have a good look. Could you hold pages to the camera for a little longer each time please? Thank you ❤
I love your videos, but I have a lot of trouble saying what you’re trying to show us either in your studio or when you’re at the kitchen table. Could you please put yourself all the camera closer to you or you to the camera so that we can actually see what you’re showing us?
remember when having a scared beginnerish moment, that you are incapable of getting it "wrong." you are the world's only source of your beautiful art. you can't get Gaynor's expression/interpretation "wrong." : D
I love that! I am going to write it down
Thank you Judith, such great support XX
Love the beginnerish feelings and thoughts...... And the antidote is......just change the thoughts....I can't to I can!! So simple, yet so hard!!! I love your positive mindset and sense of adventure.....play!!!
Thank you so much for your inspiration.❤
It is hard but the more you practice the easier it becomes second nature - I tell myself daily !!!! Have a lovely week XX
I love how much love there is, for and from you, your art, new beginnings, surprising (intermediate) endings, newly discovered colors, plants, doorways, paint, everywhere, on paper, in concertinas, on canvases, hands and dirty brushes.
If I get to come back another life, I might come back as yellow ocher and make love to sky blue 😅🥰
Thank you so much! X

Great video Gaynor. Thank you.☘️
Thank you for watching and leaving a lovely comment 🥰
I like it when the subject is larger than the page because I think it looks better when it extends beyond the page.
Hi Lori, I think you are right ..... I've looked at the drawing and contemplated some colour and thought that it could work. Have a lovely week 🥰
Me too.
you bring such a joyous feeling to whatever you do. Thanks so much for sharing your work and process and thoughts
So So kind, heartfelt thanks Suzanne XX
Buildings a wonderful idea. You can play with ageing stonework and rusty seeping walls and texture. Very exciting to see where this goes. Thank you for sharing your beginnings, not just when you’ve mastered. It really helps people like me who have that fear of something new and you have made me bolder in experimenting. 🤗

It is such a pleasure to watch you live your artistic life and truth. I could go on gushing…I hope you keep sharing your obvious love for creating because it is such an inspiring thing !!🌟👏🏽🌟
@@Kdmud So So kind, heartfelt thanks ❤
Love, love, love your method. You are so encouraging for me!
May I ask, what is the Hockney book you are reading?
❤
Thank you Kitty, such a lovely comment.....Spring Cannot Be Cancelled, David Hockney in Normandy by Martin Hayford. 🥰
Very informative video Gaynor. I like seeing the mixing blue with the yellow ochre - some interesting colour combinations and with the tint, tone, shade! There is so much inspiration to be gleaned from the Malta photographs. I have a question. How do you know when to start to make a painting to sell on? When does the experimentation cease and the 'real' painting start; or is it that the experimentation's evolve to be the finished piece? I have a second question. When you have an art exhibition, do you have a particular theme or are the pieces all stand alone? Love watching you Gaynor. You are my warm up before I start doing my art! ☺
Hello Simone, very good questions 😊 I put down paint freely for quite a while, then I start to see potential, an idea forms in my head and I have the sense of knowing where I'm going. It is rare for me to work on a single painting - I like to work across several in rotation with the same palette. The exhibition space can vary so it's a case of loading as much as I can in the boot and experimenting on the hanging day !! Have a great creative week🥰
@@gaynorpattle Thank you for the reply Gaynor. I think it is interesting to know other people's thought processes. I need to find a sense of knowing where I am going! I am just getting used to working on more than one piece of art at a time. 😊
I love watching you paint. It inspires me to try my own paintings. I like purples and pinks. You like yellow and green. I wonder about you. Are you married? Do you have kids? Do you make enough money from your paintings to support living expenses? You say we. Who's "we"?
Hello Connie, wonder no more...I am married with two children and NO I cannot support living expenses from selling paintings. Painting is a complete passion and something I fit in when I have the time. 'We" is usually me and my husband, Craig. When he has spare time he makes my frames ! The other 'We' is me thinking that viewers are with me while I'm sharing what's happening in the studio ! Have a wonderful week 🥰
Wonderfully inspired Malta paintings. Your color choices are interesting! Process is interesting as well. Off subject - Gaynor could you share where you got the forest green button down shirt previously in video and the gold shirt as well? Love your style both in painting and in fashion. Cheers!
Thank you 😊Both shirts are very old, and I think they came from Gap when they had free standing shops. I am one of those people who hang on to things for ages.....even known to retrieve things from the charity bag !!!! 🥰
I love Hockney, have you been to Salt Mill Saltaire? I went last year and it is an absolute delight and so worth a visit if you are a Hockney fan 😊
NO ! Will be putting that on my list, thank you XX
Changing up colors is where I'm at right now. Complementary system... need more knowledge on the process... sometimes I use tooo many colors. U teach us how to use large areas for one color with values... the old less is best just hasn't kicked in yet.
Julia Cameron teaches about journaling...can U help us figure out about the writing therory? 😊Ann,
Hello Ann, remember there are NO RULES ! A lot of colour is just as exciting to me as seeing one colour. It all depends on how and what you are feeling. Julia Cameron's "pages" work for me, her book came to me by pure chance about three years ago and I haven't stopped writing since ! Have a wonderful week 🥰
I have added another comment..i hope you see it. 🌺 I am looking forward to your progress.
Let me know how you get on in your sketchbook X
wooooow how did you make it? it´s amazing!!!
Thank you X
Hi, and thank you for inspiration. I may have missed it, but can you tell the title of the book about Hockey? Lovely colors the swatches with yellow ochre.
The fab book is called Spring Cannot be Cancelled, David Hockney in Normandy by Martin Hayford. ENJOY X

Just come across your channel. What a great video. Love that you share your thoughts and sources of inspiration. You make me laugh (in a good way) and I too have written Progress not Perfection in my diary. Thank you
Hello and Welcome Jane, lovely to hear from new viewers. Thank you for watching and taking the time to leave a wonderful comment 🥰
I agree withJessButterfly, below. Love seeing what you do, but it seems you whisk them away pretty quickly before I can have a good look. Could you hold pages to the camera for a little longer each time please? Thank you ❤
Hello Sheryl, I know you are right....I WILL slow down !!! X
I love your videos, but I have a lot of trouble saying what you’re trying to show us either in your studio or when you’re at the kitchen table. Could you please put yourself all the camera closer to you or you to the camera so that we can actually see what you’re showing us?
Hello Jess, yes I will bring the camera closer. Have a lovely creative week 🥰
