something like that happens that is a kind of crux moment and all of a sudden it becomes an imperative

but I have to take this thing and I need to be making money from it.

Hello everybody and welcome to episode 83 of Art Juice. This is honest, generous and humorous conversations that will feed your

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

We don't have a title for today but what we did was I had a really good idea yesterday

which of course I promptly forgot it was such a good idea that I didn't write it down

because I knew I'd remember then I didn't remember So we turned up and we said, right, I don't really have an idea for today.

And we started talking to each other about our week and I said, stop, stop, stop, stop.

We're just going to do this as the podcast so that's

what you're going to get this week so before we go back to some of those things that

came up without talking about them what have you been working on this week? This is how tired I am. I'm having

to check the notes to see what I said I was going to say. I am preparing a talk for my membership actually.

We're doing a month about how artists find their way, kind of the artist journey, I suppose. and I've got various guest artists coming in to

talk about their journeys members of the group but this week is me and so yesterday

I was putting together the images so that I can just

share my screen on Zoom and show people what the pieces I'm talking about and it's

just really interesting when you do that to look back, you know, really interesting.

Like I can see some things that have been consistent all the way through, but also I can see how I was struggling and trying to do things that I just didn't know how to do.

And as I was looking at the images, I can remember the frustration.

And there's one I came across actually, which I was so happy because I put it on

Instagram and I just got to know you on Instagram and you left a nice comment and I was

so giddy with I was high on my own success and and so I carried on working on it completely lost whatever it had, which now I look at it, I think you were just being kind because there wasn't really much there.
