If you just had a hankering for more British voices, then the next 4 episodes are for you :) In this one I talk with <a href=\"https://www.alastairjohngordon.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Ally Gordon</a>. He not only paints beautifully, writes books about it, runs <a href=\"https://www.morphearts.org\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Morphe Arts</a> and is deep and insightful, he also does a pretty good French accent. We talk about the art he created when he and his wife lost one of their unborn children. As well as discussing the importance of dealing with the difficult things of life, we also chat about the pitfalls of writing about things that are so deep and personal. A must-listen for any artist wanting to go deeper.</p><p><br></p><p>Some of the art we talk about:</p><p><a href=\"https://www.alastairjohngordon.com/2014?pgid=kw27j10i-00ee40e5-cb61-48f7-8bd2-48eab326c37d\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Paper Planes</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.alastairjohngordon.com/copy-of-2022?pgid=lgywvxap2-d35c0176-e8e0-46bc-879c-524c45a5ecaf\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Landscapes</a></p><p><br></p><p>All the competitions have now finished, but please keep sharing the podcast so others can hear it... and if there is a second series there will be many more competitions to enter!!</p><p><br></p><p>Get <strong>30% off Ally's book 'Why Art Matters'</strong> by using the code nowordsAG23 at the <a href=\"https://uk.10ofthose.com/product/9781789742367/why-art-matters-paperback\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">10ofthose checkout</a>.</p><p><br></p><p>Other discounts you can get as listeners to the podcast:</p><p>'<a href=\"https://uk.10ofthose.com/product/9781433561481/dark-clouds-deep-mercy-paperback\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Dark Clouds, Deep Mercy</a>' :: nowordsSG23</p><p>'<a href=\"https://uk.10ofthose.com/product/9781535949026/adorning-the-dark-paperback\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Adorning the Dark</a>' :: nowordsAP23</p><p><br></p><p><strong><u>About Your Host</u></strong></p><p>Michael J Tinker is a singer-songwriter based in Somerset, England.
