I say it every time (or I think it!) You bring such joy to my day! I love your boundless creativity and positivity!! Thank you!! I will repurpose an old book today! 🧑🎨💖🤸♀️🥳
So So kind, heartfelt thanks....have fun this week XXX
My goodness, I could watch you all day! So much fun.
I am so grateful Mary, thank you XXX
Gaynor, I need to collage a "just have a go!" sign for my studio! You are so open to experimentation whilst I burden myself with unreachable expectations which ultimately steal my joy. Your "just keep going something will come" approach sometimes drives me crazy yet ... at some level ... I do recognize I need to understand this truth;
IF I yearn to paint the essence of a thing, not the actuality of a thing, then exploration is essential !
❤
Maybe.... Let Go and Have A Go... I ran a small workshop this morning and the overwhelming feeling is that just about everyone wants to set themselves free !! XXX
So inspiring as usual ! Love this idea to give another life to failed paintings in concertinas. Great to find freedom to experiment . And I think that yes , I could do that just to play and see what comes from intuitive mixings of combined old gel printings with others drawings. Thank you so much for all what you share with such natural, joy and generosity. Can you let me know if you print your cards yourself ? I don’ t success in doing that. Love to get or find a good tuto if you have a reference… no matter if you don’t of course. Waiting for your next video and wishing you a very good week !😀
Love the idea of using your "failed" cards as a concertina! Just fabulous, the ideas you give to us. Thank you for making these lovely videos, they are SO inspiring. 🥰

Hello Gaynor, again a very authentic video showing that art making is something we should let happen to find the goodies in and during the process of just doing. Thank you for sharing these weekly art expressions and your lively mood. I always have a delicious cup of tea with you ! Have a nice weekend and bye till next week. Take care xxx
You bring a smile to my face every time!! Thank you!! ❤❤❤
It’s so wonderfully green in your world.
The gel plate papers are exciting. Great idea cards taped together. The saved bird 💚& the flowerpots painted 🪻🌸🌷💕🐝

I seriously need a concertina🙂it looks like so much fun! Also, I love the LAST green print ..it reminded me of the OLD PAPER look, and maybe an old photo on it. Have a blessed weekend and enjoy yourself! Hugs to you and your family and of course ROCKET! Sweet doggie who eats bulbs.🤗
Good morning Gaynor, I love the Gelli plates and use mine all the time. I am working in a large concertina on different still life’s using items from around the house, now after watching you I will add collage, so fun. Your inspiration is endless! Thank you ❤
Thank you Laura...have a fab week XXX
Do you know how many videos you have posted????? 95!!! Nearly at your century!!!! What an achievement. We should all have cake and tea when we watch the 100th!!!!
Thursday is always my favorite day because of you! Making my concertina today!
Have a great time XXX
Hi Gaynor, l missed you yesterday for breakfast as l was out and away early, but so glad to catchup now. I too gave been making collage papers this week. I was painting them, but l think l will use my gelli plate, looks fun. When l run out of space to dry the papers l peg them up on my clothes airers. I love all your clay pots in the greenhouse. It reminded me l need to check on my daffy bulbs in the shed, where they hibernate. Thank you as always.....Alioban 🐕💖xx
You are such a joy and inspiration to watch. Thank you so much for sharing your work.
Loved completely your new concertina from 'older' works.... I sometimes get a little conceited and think I can think things up but I can't - and you can - and that was so resourceful. I smile. Many thanks for all.
YOU CAN..... We all can Sue. Have a lovely lovely week XXX
Really look forward to your joyous and inspirational postings. Love watching your creativity…………thank you.
Your ideas are so inspiring. I really enjoy when you have a new video. Thanks for sharing. ❤❤❤
So so kind, heartfelt thanks XXX
You are such a ray of sunshine and inspiration! I hope you have another fabulous week in the studio this week.
XXX
I always enjoy watching your process. We’re going out into the bush, with no power or cell cover, for 2 nights. I’m taking 2 prepped journals, water soluble crayons, collage materials etc. I’ll have fun being inspired by undisturbed New Zealand scenery.
Don't forget insect repellent! 🙂 Cheers from chch
WOW, have a wonderful time Cath...that sounds heavenly XXX
Enjoyed watching you play with the gel plate. I just finished a big knitting project and am looking forward to some paint fun. The pops of orange and yellow on the wall behind you are so happy and fun. Think I need some of that in my art room too. Thanks for bringing sunshine to our Thursday!
Sending the best 'painty' vibes .... have a wonderful week XXX
Love the curiosity - playing with new ideas!
Thank you for the inspiration. ❤️
Hello Rocket - he loves gardening too! 😂
This makes me smile.....have a lovely week XX
Such lovely results. I love the bird hiding behind the pots on the card! This was such a nice distraction from all the madness that has overtaken our lives here in Canada, and the US. It's been a depressing and unproductive week - my heart hasn't really been in what I've been doing, so thanks for your cheerful experimentation! Your gelli plate prints turned out really beautifully!
Hello Janina...we watch the news in disbelief !!! Sending love and a big hug XXX
I do look forward to your Thursday videos! You are so inspiring and such a joy to watch you work!
XXXXX
I really hang out and look forward to your updates. I’m in Australia and I love seeing the different flowers that you come up with, and I always feel like I’m getting an education as well. As Wellers having someone almost like a personal coach who’s sparring me on and encouraging me to try new things. You are a wonderful inspiration. I would love to see you do a book with just pages and pages of your coloured artworks. Scrapbook stuff finished works collage pieces. There are so many how to books in the world sometimes it’s nice, just to sit down with your favourite artist and look through different works that they have created.
Particularly having a book like this would be nice because it’s very difficult to get catalogues and things of your work when you’re overseas, but the book is a lot easier. Maybe something to ponder ?
Beautiful fun as always! LOVE the card with the bird between the pots. Your creations seem so effortless and spontaneous. I know this comes from showing up and playing with your materials. You are such an inspiration! Thank you, Gaynor!❤
Sending a big hug XXXX
REFRESH Collage papers! Me too! Started working on Valentine Cards for Family and found all of my gel print stash didn't fit my needs. I spent 3 hours making papers for this project! So happy with them! Excited about your REFRESH!
I love being in such good arty company XXX
Hello Gaynor, I love it all as usual. Can we have a closer look at the concertina sketchbooks please 😂 Thank you for sharing everything. Have a lovely week.💐
Always a great inspiration to get me going in the studio……..wish you posted daily. ❤
Love and a big hug to you Helen XX
My week starts when you do!!
Love and a big hug Linda XXXX
Love the gel prints! Once again, you’ve inspired me to make new collage papers! 🙂😘
Enjoy your week Cheryl XXX
I decided to try a concertina after watching you work in yours. It is so fun. I adore the idea of using old cards and taping them together- brilliant! I’m for sure borrowing that wonderful idea. I splurged at Christmas and gave myself a small round Gelli plate and it works so well in my sketchbooks. It works well. The amaryllis is amazing. WOW! Wishing you a lovely week. Thanks for sharing.
That's it....you are the second lovely person to suggest a round gelli, so I will order one pronto !!!! Have a wonderful week too XXXX
OK, I have had my weekly fix of Gaynor enthusiasm.... now ready to paint!
I treasure the bird card you sent me. And him among the hyacinths today is brilliant. You intuitively get the composition perfectly ❤
The marks from the gell plate were very exciting too.
Happy painting this week xxx
Thank you Linda....so much for Spring....we have sleet today !! Thank goodness the plants can survive !! Enjoy your painting too XXX
Loved seeing you making collage materials with your gel plate! Such fun! I take copy paper and use to roll off excess paint from my brayers and those make great papers too, and helps keep brayer clean too. At the end of the day, you can roll thin layer of white on your plate, press paper down and let dry on the plate; wait about 15+ min (or as long as you like) and you'll pull an interesting print and have a fairly clean plate left. :) Loved seeing your concertina made from old cards (I must start doing that!) Your potting shed with the bulbs are so wonderful. So much fun and you keep inspiring me! Hugs xxoo
Why are you so far away !!!!! I imagine a lovely gel plate workshop with you XXX
Gaynor, we are up to the same things. This year, I have spent days making collage paper with my gel plate. I started making 5 x 5 inch collages that have now turned into a 100-day project. Two collages became the covers of a concertina book that I made. What fun!
I am in such great company...thank you for sharing....have a wonderful painty week XXX
Wow, love some of those pulled gel plate pieces, the 'leaves' in green and the geometrics in black, white and grey. Card made from bird card is brilliant, then I am biased, I love all your work. Eyeing the red figure on the wall, every time it transitions it gets better. J.
So So kind, sending a big hug XXXX
I love your energy and abandon so much. You inspire me every video.
Big Hugs Kate XXX
Oh save other birds on other side………..love
Agree!
I will XXX Have a lovely lovely week Andrea XX

Thank you too! XX
Totally inspired. Going straight up to my very messy studio to play.
EXCELLENT XXXX
Your face looks so happy as you look at the plants!
XXXX
Always look forward to your videos.. your a great artist + such a nice lady ❤❤
Inspiring and enjoyable as always. Keep warm!
That was great fun and inspiring! I had purchased a small gel plate from Amazon, never opened the package, and after watching several videos decided it was too complicated, so returned it! Now I regret it because I guess I watched the wrong videos, since you make it look fun and easy. Pooh!
Anyway I too have a very hard time tearing up books, unless they are of no interest to me and not too vintage 😊.
NOOOO you sent it back !!! Sending "buy another" vibes XXX
Thank you Gaynor. I haven’t painted for two weeks and don’t know where to start. My daughter tried to get me kicked started with a bunch of roses and tulips yesterday. Watching this weeks encouragement has made me think about getting busy. Just push some paint around and hope that the magic happens like yours😂. Must say I envy all your lovely new space!!!!
Hello Jennifer, big hugs to your daughter XX Sending painty vibes XXX
As always, I'm inspired to try and to be braver. Thank you Gaynor. With the sketchbook issue, I just have 2 or 3 books going at the same time
Such a good idea to have several books ongoing XXX
Thank you Gaynor. Great to catch up with you and to be inspired by your enthusiasm for experimentation. I love my gel plate and paint shapers too! Have a great week.
XXX
Thank you for the video! Pleasure to see what are you creating. And as always - very inspiring for me! This week I also worked with my gel plate and had great fun….Have a good week you too.
I am in great company XXX
Love your work. I just came home with a gelli plate and here's your video!

Good Morning from New Orleans. I'm dusting off the gel plate today and having a go at collage papers and backgrounds. Thank you, Gaynor.
Hello Peggie, I sitting near the woodburner looking at the sleet falling and wondering what it's like in New Orleans ? XX
Adorable - as usual!
You are so kind, thank you XXX
I’ve been working with my gel plate the last few days, so many possibilities! Love your concertina books, I’ve never made one. One my list now to do! Thank you as always for your enthusiasm and inspiration!
Oh Kate, you will LOVE concertina, I think they are my fav XXX
This „thing“ is called color shaper 😁.
Are you sure it's not a Shape Shifter ? XXXX
Great fun setting your experiments today ❤
Seeing... not setting

Gaynor, I love your videos and look forward every week to the new one, your personality and lovely giggles make me laugh and you are helping me not to worry about creating to just have fun. Are you pleased with your new table top easel and if so can you tell me the make and where you purchased it, at 83 I need a comfortable place to work. I do hope you are keeping well, much love, Maggie x
Brilliant episode! I love my gel plate, so fun 😁 All your concertina sketchbooks are just amazing. Please never stop doing birds 🐦 ❤

Hello Beverly, my first thought is "ohh maybe I could cut a circle from an old gel plate" !! but on second thought...might be a lot easier to order one XXXXX Thank You for a great suggestion XX
A very inspiring video today Gaynor, lots of good things to think about thank you.
So pleased you liked it, thank you XXXX
We are such dedicated followers!
I am a very happy bunny XXX

Morning Gaynor - What a great idea to use the ‘failed’ cards as a concertina sketchbook! And love the hyacinth and bird card!❤ Will you be selling your cards on your website?
you wouldn't happen to have an art exhibit late February? - Love Art Weekly, always looking forward to Thursday nights
Hi Katharina....my first exhibition of the year is at the end of May...sorry XXX
ok thank you Gaynor for responding, just happen to visit Hastings from Canada and thought I check, maybe next time! You are so very inspiring, thank you for that!
Thank you Gaynor. Now inspired to get my gel plate out. I've just got to find it now. It's in this muddle somewhere ...
Have fun XXX
I love ,love , love your bird cards ! I'm pestering you again to consider selling us a box set or bundle ...some day ? ! P. S. My male Standard Poodle is digging crazy right now too ! Spring in the air ,maybe ?!
Hi Patrizia..I know..I will put a bundle together soon, promise XX
I always love your videos. Was you printing with acrylic paint ? And how do you clean the gel plates ?
Thanks for another VERY inspiring video. Hmm, buy a gel plate? Another thing for my wish list
Hi Dee, somewhere, ages ago I read that you can make a gel plate.....might be worth investigating ? Have a lovely week XXX
@ thanks. I think two of the ladies at my exercise class were teachers and they mentioned making gel plates. I’ll ask again
@ ps. I make collage papers with tissue and when I can get it, deli paper as they both blend into the painted picture. Jackson’s in London sell deli paper
Gaynor thank you l have a circle gel plate in a draw l have forgotten about its coming out love the designs you got such fun and cards into concertina wonderful idea question do you make your cards what size are they or do you order them from a supplier and who l love the size of them much love Huia-ann (Hoya) for pronunciation ❤
Hello Huia-ann, The cards are 6" x 6" 250 gsm (Kraft Brand) I buy them online from Amazon. Have a wonderful play with your circle gel plate XXX
