What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith

Edith - Painter

Episode Summary

"I would not want to live in the Cotswolds... No offence to the Cotswolds community." This time on WDYD I sit down at home with Edith to hear all about the ups, downs and everything in-between of being a painter. It's a lovely hour, as we talk about what it means to sit with an object and to learn from it, the perils of portraiture, and how the door never really closes on taking up a creative pursuit. Oh, and the Cotswolds takes an absolute reputational battering. Take that, Cotswolds! Don't forget to check out the show notes to see Edith's lovely art!

"I would not want to live in the Cotswolds... No offence to the Cotswolds community."

This time on WDYD I sit down at home with Edith to hear all about the ups, downs and everything in-between of being a painter.

It's a lovely hour, as we talk about what it means to sit with an object and to learn from it, the perils of portraiture, and how the door never really closes on taking up a creative pursuit. Oh, and the Cotswolds takes an absolute reputational battering. Take that, Cotswolds!
