“London-based artist Alice Sheridan, creates dynamic planes of colour and texture; bold and singular marks intersect swathes of paint, while the rapid brush-marks reflect an energy of application”

TOM BEST, The Auction Collective

Sometimes we need a wake-up call… it’s too easy to take what we do for granted.

Over the last two days I’ve been visited by @jo_at_firain who has allowed me to see my world through fresh eyes. Her calm guidance has been a gift to the Connected Artist club (join the waitlist if you want to know when we next open)

Today @davidhieatt has been guiding us through ways to find your writing voice. @_helen_perry_ joined (another amazing and generous wing-woman you want in your corner) and it was F-A-B to finally meet in person.

Reading a book about writing a book: procrastination or welcome new learning? Got notes and post-it notes and files everywhere - not sure yet what will make the filter, or who this is even for, but this much I know…

I want this to be an inspirational friend - a good companion, one that cheers you up and that you have a good time with. Not predictable. Packs a few surprises and fun to explore… not reading black and white text, but a treasure of suggestions you can dip into.

Hopefully I’ll look back on this post as where I started to really make this idea concrete.

I’ve taken steps and got good some nudges, but I’ve been hesitating. Can I do this? What do I have to say? As we record the 200th episode of the Art Juice podcast and reach 3million downloads maybe there’s a new way to contribute to the conversation about finding your creative path in the world… let’s see what it looks like!

Also funky composition photo!

Anyone else do a quick check before bed in the hope that you may resolve in your dreams??

I can’t do it in person now that the studio is away from home, and I still miss that, so a photo has to suffice…. Getting back to this tomorrow, not sure if the last move was a good one. But often that makes it easier to start again.

The difference between 6inches and 60 inches may as well be a universe…. and yet… this still has something to teach me about the bigger paintings I’m working on in the studio.

Patience.

Waiting for the sun to come out… I know we liked

Waiting for the sun to come out… I know we liked the pale start, but needed to be a bit destructive or there was a danger of keeping things too precious.

This week on the Art Juice podcast [196] we're thinking about what comes next. We're both working on new paintings and both facing different issues. Louise veered temporarily off track once she started trying too hard, and I’m wondering if some things are coming too easily. By definition, the life of an artist is about growth and change, and this week definitely highlights that fact.

Is it OK to find things easy, or do you need to step it up at that point? How important are deadlines? How do you get back on track when things go wrong? What is the role of teaching in your artist development? And what does all this have to do with skiing? ⛷Tune in to find out :)
