World renowned artist David Hockney has a special way of working at home, and a special home in Normandy where he can do it every day — at age 83. Hockney is inspired, creative and incredibly productive. This feature story about him by Barbara Isenberg deserved to be shared. So I did — in this special bonus episode.

This isn't my standard interview-style podcast. Instead, it's an affectionate account of the 83-year-old David Hockney, whom writer Barbara Isenberg interviewed in late 2020.  Barbara graciously gave me permission to share the story with you.

Neither age nor the pandemic have slowed Hockney down.  The master uses current technology alongside more traditional materials to remain productive and enthusiastic about his work, under lockdown at home.

Just as I hope you can be,

Thanks so much for listening. And please email me at josh@worklifeathome.com if you enjoy this and would like to hear more of these short narrative pieces.
