Summary
We discuss our different approaches to summer - Louise doesn’t slow down in summer and in fact, her online course is about to start which means she is working even harder. Alice has children, which means her summers have always been a time for family. Even with the best will in the world, it’s almost impossible to work while caring for young children so she has always had to find ways of creating that could be squeezed into the gaps around family time. This has included other creative projects including home decor, gardening, cooking, and reading the art books that she has never got round to. We also discuss sketchbooks and the different ways we have both used them.
Oh, and also we started a hashtag for sharing how you are keeping in touch with your art practice over the summer!!

Our audience question is about charity donations: The listener wrote: “Had my fill this week. Would make an interesting podcast. The tactics they use to get free artwork. How to say no. How to not feel guilty. If I’m targeted then others artists must be too.”
We have a slight reframe on this one … listen for ideas on how you can turn this around so it works for you AND for the charities you choose to support.

| 0:00.0 | I think I remember that made me feel really like I trusted you was I rang you about coming to your retreat with Georgina. |
| 0:08.8 | Did I tell you not to come? She should have said this at the beginning. This is episode 28. This was the whole point of this. We started off by saying this is episode 28 and how bad we were not to have celebrated our six month anniversary. |
| 0:29.0 | When we started we never thought we'd make it this long. I didn't think either of us thought that we would be enjoying it this much. |
| 0:38.0 | We certainly haven't run out of things to say and we have got a fantastic question that came in this week about donating artwork which is going to be really |
| 0:47.3 | juicy I think and really helpful so it's going to be a little bit more of a 50-50 split this week. |
| 0:52.4 | We're going to be talking about that |
| 0:54.3 | question and we are going to be talking about how we deal with making art over the |
| 0:59.6 | summer and if we have a break or if we have a change and how we recognize that and it's going to be different for both of us. And we're not even being married for that long, so that's tragic. |
| 1:17.6 | We're not to celebrate your six-month anniversary, you're getting really jaded. |
| 1:21.6 | And it's a weird relationship because we've only met once. |
| 1:25.0 | I think the thing I remember that made me feel really like I trusted you |
| 1:30.0 | was I rang you about coming to your retreat with Georgina. |
| 1:34.0 | Did I tell you not to come? |
| 1:35.6 | You didn't quite say that, but I said, |
| 1:37.8 | I just can't figure out what I'm actually going to get for my money. |
| 1:42.8 | Yeah. |
| 1:43.8 | And you said, well, I don't really know or something along those lines. |
| 1:47.1 | I will, to be honest, I don't really know. |
| 1:49.2 | This is what the plan is, but I'm not sure. |
| 1:52.1 | And I don't know if it will work or something like that and I |
| 1:55.2 | thought oh I can really trust you because at that point you didn't you hadn't sold all |
| 1:59.7 | the places and you could have said oh oh, it'll be brilliant, come along. |
