If the paintings that you make reflect your personality, people are drawn to that. Hi and welcome to episode 116 of Art Justice's honest, generous and humorous conversations to feed

your creative soul and get you thinking with me Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan.

And I'm a little bit out of breath

because I wasn't prepared.

I had to run back to the house for something.

So don't worry about me if you listen to this

and I sound like I'm having a heart attack. But we today are going to talk about

we're having a bit of a lighter subject today and we're going to talk about

how our personality type affects the way we work and we don't really know where that's going to go but we'll see

Before we get to that what have you been working on this week, Alice?

Well, I've just been continuing with this lovely, happy, muddly middle paintings.

I started two new big ones, which for me is 1 meter 20 at the moment.

I'm just playing with paint. I've had to go withazing fluid in the early stages. It's not doing what I want it to do. It's quite thick still glazing fluid.

Yeah, I think maybe I don't know if I need to add more water, but I kind of really wanted to make things really liquid and it still needs pushing. So I don't know, but I've just been exploring it. It's enjoyable. I'm really just trying to stay open to what happens in these. I'm a little bit frustrated that the two big ones have

started off feeling quite obviously landscaping and I haven't yet made a decision

about whether I want to push them in another direction or whether I'm going to go with them as they are. So we'll wait and see how these go. But yeah, I've been doing those and I've also been we've been looking at branding in the membership.

So I've quite enjoyed doing that.

I've been twiddling around making logo designs for myself,

which I will probably never ever use, but it's been quite fun doing it.

It must be nice to have that skill. It really must be nice. That's something I do.

That and singing. I always think I wish I could sing and it would be nice to be able to do design and I'm not bad as amateur in the sense that I've seen other people do things that are worse than I do. I seem to have some sense of where to place things, but there's a very definite difference between someone who's trained and knows what they're doing and someone who doesn't, and I certainly couldn't make my own logo. I can see when I don't like it.

Yeah, but I can't pick what it should be. Yeah and it's frustrating because I don't have access to all the software tools I used to have so I can't draw things out or convert font to outlines and tweak them and change things like that.
