83 - the commitments

Does summer throw you a curveball, does it disrupt your art when other family members are around? How easy do you find it to block off time for your work during holidays, when trips abound, the sun shines or friends offer coffee dates?  This week Karen and Gaynor find ways to protect their creative time, although suggestions are always welcome.  Links and mentions: Photo by Gonard Fluit on Unsplash @ginabelfordart @johounsomephotography Jacqueline Ford  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.
