doesn't really matter whether you're a beginner or whether you are more experienced with your painting.

I think we all get this. I've got 85% there. Am I in the last 15%? Do I have more to go or is this finished?

Hello hello and welcome to episode 160 of art juice.

This is honest, generous and humorous conversations

that will feed your creative soul

and get you thinking with me Alice Sheridan.

I'm me Louise Fletcher. And this week we're gonna have a little bit of a what's the word pick

a mix approach to what we're going to discuss but first of all I just want to say

thank you so everybody after last week's

discussion about beauty and what pretty and then I did a post on Instagram

about painting perfect so many interesting comments on that. It's fairly clear and obvious in my

Instagram thread because it's just my little scribble that I had, my writing on a sketchbook that I'd written to myself but if you haven't

listened to that or seen the comments on that it's probably worth hopping back to so there

we go plug for my Instagram which is at Alice Sheridan studio and

while we're here if you don't follow Louise already she's at Louise Fletcher

underscore art so hop over and you can see what we're doing on Instagram at the moment. So this week we are going to be talking about two things kind of led by what we've been working on and then we've got a little bit of a listener question so we're

going to split our time but first of all what have you been doing this week?

All sorts, all sorts and nothing do you ever have those weeks?

All sorts and nothing.

But the one thing, I won't bore you with all the details of what I've been doing,

because genuinely it's not exciting but I did have a big

realization that how can I explain it without going to too much detail? So I had to have a meeting with an accountant and I was asking some questions about how to do something and how to do something else and should I do this and should I do that. And as he started talking and my brain started to do this thing which one of my friends describes as little shutters coming down like no not listening anymore don't care. Stop, stop.
