Why I can't listen to this...

Rebecca Crowell and Mary Duffy  discussing work in Ballinglen 


I can't bear listening to the Messy Studio's Podcast . . .It's not just that I have my own messy studio of course, and more mess is just too much . . No, it is not that.


In fact, each night for the last few weeks, I have been avidly listening to Rebecca's podcasts. Let's be clear. I love them. All of them,. Just can't be listening to this one. No, the podcast and variety of subjects is great. I particularly liked the discussions on abstraction and Rebecca's own journey (to pure abstraction).


I won't be listening to this week's podcast because the microphone was turned in my direction. Rebecca created a recording studio in my car as we sat in the windswept wilds of north Mayo, and that is why I won't be listening to this one . . I will save myself the sleepless nights and the "How can I be so incoherent / say something so stupid? (endless ranting)


However, without reservation, I can highly recommend it to you . . as each and everyone of the other podcasts is great, and this one should be no different (ouch).


Look, if you like, skip this latest one but do listen to the rest. They’re perfect. And don't forget to give the Messy Studio loads of stars if like me you rate it very highly.

For the moment, it is time for breakfast,

life as an artist

I write about life as an artist and the challenges that this choice presents. I was born without arms in 1961 and this makes my painting demanding, my life stimulating and my choices complex. I like it like this.
