What's reality that could go off on a great?

Hi everybody.

Hi everybody and welcome to episode 108 of art juice.

Hi everybody and welcome to episode 108 of Art Juice. This is almost generous and humorous

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

And today our topic is the process of abstraction. Right. Easy then that should just be a five minute conversation. So as we kind of ramp up and prepare ourselves to deal with that mammoth topic, let's first of all just ease in by talking about what we've

been up to this week so what have you been up to? Oh I have to admit it's not

been a very good week in many ways. I've been feeling a bit low and a bit wintry and a bit

pants about things. So I just wanted to say that because hey it happens and you will not be the only person that's what I thought I would let you all know so I've had a couple of d days. And I've had some things that I've been a bit tearful about

and then that's all come out.

But like everything these days,

it's just so roller coastory up and down in the course of a day or in the course of a week.

And I was thinking, our last week was a really difficult week and then I actually looked back on it.

It wasn't. It was a really nice week Monday to Thursday and then Friday was just

horrible for a particular reason and then that's caused a little bit of a hangover this week. But in amongst all of that I've had some really actually nice things and even though the days have been a bit off.

Something happens or something gets done or I get something solved as being on my list as a kind of horrible

niggle in the back of your mind for a long time and it turns around.

So I'm going to tell you about the nice things.

So one of them is planning out. the content for connected artist and arranging more guests this year so that's I'm just getting really excited about that and one of the reasons that I'm getting really excited about that is because I've been doing more individual coaching calls recently. It's funny how these things come and wave. I don't promote this. Don't really talk about it. I have limited time available, but maybe it's the start of the year people want to book in, but they're just really enjoyable and I end everyone kind of a little bit like I talked

about last week with delivering the painting thinking, you know, have I given this person, how I helped them, was that useful?

And then I get these lovely emails afterwards or see posts afterwards that people just say,

oh, that was so good. So, you know, that's lovely. So thank you everybody for saying thank you
