Summary
This week's main topic was inspired by some recent events within online art communities. These included an anonymous letter intended to hurt and intimidate one artist, an ill-informed discussion of Cy Twombley's work, and an angry email that turned out to be the result of a mistake. We discuss how our attitudes shape our experience of the world. It is true that our assumptions often determine not only the outcome of any situation, but how we feel on a day-to-day basis. Neither of us is perfect (no really!!) but we share how we look at challenging situations and some of the ways we turn things around in our minds.
We also answer a listener question about the amount of work we produce - do we just have lots of ideas or is it something about our process that allows us to produce so many paintings in a year? This leads to a discussion about the value of working in series, and the extent to which one idea can feed many paintings.

| 0:04.0 | I wish that I was sometimes magnificently amazing and tragically awful. Hi and welcome to episode 110 of Art Juice. This is honest, generous conversations to feed your creative soul and |
| 0:26.5 | get you thinking with me Louise Fletcher. |
| 0:29.8 | And me Alice Sheridan. Are we going to be humorous today? I don't know. I think I'm a bit tired to be humorous today. |
| 0:38.0 | I actually thought when I said that and I looked at the day, is this a year since our first episode? A year it's two years dear. |
| 0:47.6 | Two years is this two years? |
| 0:50.8 | 52 weeks in a year, 110. |
| 0:54.0 | It just feels like we've done to a week. |
| 0:57.0 | More than two years. |
| 0:59.0 | Oh, so it's more than two years, so we missed our anniversary. |
| 1:02.0 | We didn't even celebrate. |
| 1:03.4 | Anyway, that just yeah that's like my wedding anniversary. |
| 1:08.3 | Oh my so that just sums us up really. So if this is not our one year anniversary, what are you working on at the moment? |
| 1:20.0 | Okay, so we have had the reason we're a little bit gaga today, forgive us. If you're listening to the first, if this is the first Argy's episode that you're listening to. |
| 1:30.0 | Don't listen to this one first. Find another one and then come back another time because it might be one of those ones where we just kind of, the words are forming in our brain and they don't quite come out of your mouth properly. So we've had a busy week helping helping people answering questions, people who've been thinking about joining CVP which is now closed and it is exciting and I have to say this year because I'm kind of not involved with delivering the program I haven't been thinking about it so much but watching what Nick delivered in the workshops everything that goes on behind |
| 2:06.1 | the scenes just I'm so excited for everybody who's doing it but it kind of a little bit caught us unaware so |
| 2:16.7 | so yeah so the week was a little bit disruptive we've had more questions I hope |
| 2:21.2 | if you sent an email sorry if we missed any of them but in |
| 2:26.6 | between that okay as well as doing that then I've been a bit geeky with a print |
| 2:31.2 | order system so until now I've had if a print order comes in I just email |
| 2:36.8 | it off to my printer I've been doing a spreadsheet that we both have access to with drop-down menus so we know where each section is each print. |
| 2:47.8 | So I've been geeking out about that. It's taking me a while to build it, but we've been testing it this week and she's like oh this is good |
