Chiaroscuro

July is the 125th anniversary of The Tate Britain, one of the UK’s most established art galleries, so today on the podcast we are going to be dedicating an episode to Art and specifically, painting . 

We’ll discover what the connection is between the painter’s canvas and a cannabis plant, why the painter’s palette is linked to the garden shovel and we explore the painting style of egg tempera albeit with a minor foray into Japanese cuisine.  

Susie and Gyles dive into their own art collection sharing stories from Coulter to Churchill and Gyles reveals that there have been numerous occasions where he’s sat ‘warts and all’ for his portrait.  

Our correspondence section sees the birth of a new word that Susie and Gyles challenge the Purple People to get behind in a bid for a 2023 OED entry (thank you Hannah Coulter) and Susie shares three delightful or even numptious words with us.
