Summary
This week, we share 3 of the questions that we are most often asked, and discuss why they're really not helpful. Often, especially when we are starting out or when we are switching to a new medium, we ask questions as a kind of shortcut ... it feels easier to ask than to work it out for ourselves. But the truth is that the answers to these questions are unique for each of us. Only you can find the answer that works for you. That said, we do have some suggestions that we hope are helpful. This week we are also moving back to working on larger paintings, which feels really good, and we are both working hard on our membership groups. As an added bonus, Alice shares her lockdown TV recommendations!

| 0:00.0 | We've kind of come full circle. We started off saying three questions people should never ask and then we've decided perhaps they should ask them but in a different way. |
| 0:10.0 | Hi and welcome to episode 72 of Art Juice. |
| 0:18.0 | This is honest, generous and humorous conversations to feed your creative soul and get you thinking with me |
| 0:24.3 | Louise Fletcher and me Alice Sheridan and today we have really three topics in one |
| 0:31.1 | because we're going to talk about three questions that |
| 0:33.4 | artists should never ask and perhaps what you should do instead of asking the |
| 0:38.0 | questions. I was going to say that sounds very strict doesn't it? |
| 0:40.8 | Yes do not. I don't even like the word should so maybe we need another title. |
| 0:47.1 | We'll work on it. Three questions it would be better not to ask. Three questions never to ask. |
| 0:55.1 | Yeah, although never is a very strong word is it? Can you see we've thought this through people? Now you're really overthinking it. |
| 1:01.8 | Anyway, first of all, what have you been up to this week? Well, last week, because I'm going to go from last |
| 1:09.7 | last Friday, I went into the studio and started two new big paintings. Oh it felt really good. I have no idea where they're going or what I want to do with them but it just felt really good to go and get started. |
| 1:25.0 | And I think what was holding me back was just not having a sense of what are these four, |
| 1:30.6 | and actually what felt so good about them was I have nothing that these are for. |
| 1:36.0 | So yeah, I'm looking forward to getting back to those but I've been rather busy this week because we opened up the |
| 1:45.0 | Connected Artists Club again so by the time you're listening to this, welcome if you're |
| 1:48.9 | listening and you're new it's so fun to see you in there. It's great. But there's always bits that you've got to put together. |
| 1:59.9 | E-mails to write, I had little videos to edit, just things to change and even though you've |
| 2:06.3 | done it before you just kind of think which link goes where and which thing goes where and |
| 2:10.5 | I have to get my head around all that and check in on it every time. |
| 2:13.6 | So I've been doing that. |
| 2:15.6 | But I've also started the Insight Creative, |
