As we mentioned a couple of episodes ago, Portobello has a thriving community of artists. Karl Stern for example is a member of the Scottish Society of Artists and has his work shown regularly at the Society's annual exhibition in January. However, better late than never, it's time to meet him.

Karl's apartment on the Prom is stuffed with works of art - mainly from artists he admires. They include some works of massive proportion, taking up much of the space on one whole wall!
As for his own work, as you can see, it has its own unique style. He currently has a one-man show at the Upright Gallery in Edinburgh.

I have been trying my best to keep producing two podcast episodes a week. However, as you will realise, I have been through quite a lot over the past few months and I am finding the effort a lot more taxing than I had expected.
My physiotherapist keeps on pointing out that I need to maintain the 'exquisite balance' of having enough energy to keep the cancer at bay while still being able to function as normally as possible.
So on the advice of her and all the other specialists who have been so good in keeping me going, I have decided to reduce the number to only one a week - and there may be short gaps from time to time. Thanks!
