I Found Art During Covid, Am I a Fraud? Signet Rings, Peter Wolf, and the Playground Witches Wheel

With time on their hands, new artists emerged during the Covid years. Joy and Teresa discuss how the art world views newcomers to art, seeking input from accomplished artists including a goldsmith, painter, ceramicist and writer. Teresa gives an update on her signet ring collection and goes down a rabbit hole into the language of flowers. Joy talks about oil painting on wooden cigar boxes and reviews J. Geils Band frontman Peter Wolf’s memoir. The episode ends with the twosome discussing the dangerous playground equipment they enjoyed as grade schoolers and lamenting the loss of the Witches Wheel.~Show links and references~Mrs. L.
