75 - walks of shame and worthy failures

How do we all handle failure? How many rejections can we deal with - do they make you stronger or knock your confidence? Do we learn or feel dejected? There’s always something to learn and we grow-so let’s do it together!  Luckily (well, maybe not!) Karen and Gaynor have experienced it all… so here we go, let’s all hold hands and fail spectacularly together!  This week’s links and mentions:  Image by 青 晨 on Unsplash @ginabelfordart https://www.ginabelfordart.co.uk https://www.starvingartists.studio/opportunities Jo Hill Textiles https://johilltextilecourses.podia.com White chalk gallery https://whitechalkgallery.co.uk @rwa @olist Royal Academy Open: https://summer.royalacademy.org.uk About the podcast Gaynor Leverett-Jaques and Karen George are both full time artists, living and working in South West of the UK, sharing experiences and the ups and downs of living the painting life.
