“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”

I’m often asked about older work - what to do if

I’m often asked about older work - what to do if a painting hasn’t sold. Paintings can take a while to find their person, and sometimes sell a while later, so I keep them where I can. And sometimes you know you have a painting which doesn’t cut it any more. Your work has changed, you are different, maybe you know you were a little hesitant…
Reviewing just a couple of the location drawings I did last week gave me some clues about how I could go back to this canvas for a next life …
1️⃣ This is NOT a mark of failure! That painting was part of what got you here…. but if you can’t see it as part of your future, you haven’t lost or wasted something - you are building on it!
2️⃣ these paintings have often been pivotal moments of change. You move differently, you have nothing to lose once you’ve decided to sacrifice an older work…
3️⃣ often I notice it’s easier to bring a simplicity or rawness back … because there’s already a good history.
Do you do this? It’s great if you feel paintings building up because it feel like new life - almost like painting for free!

⚠️ Joy. Somehow FB thinks I’ve been buying likes or data scraping or some such nonsense. My account is currently suspended so I have no access to my personal account, page, groups, messenger… and no way to contact them.
EDiT: it’s been “unsuspended” - with a kind of apology, but no explanation. It was annoying and inconvenient but not the end of the world - because I have other ways of contacting people, and people finding me. Things I’ve grown over time: SEO, website leads, IRL events and mailing list (where most actual sales happen) . But I like social, I enjoy the sharing and the interaction. This has made me think (again) about other ways to do this better. No lightbulb decisions yet, but it’s got the ball rolling on some new ideas. If you want to keep in touch and hear when these start to come to life, then you know mailing list is simply the most reliable way to know what’s going on.
Here seems to be fine so far - if you need anything, come here. It’s a touch infuriating. Hopefully resolved soon, but just posting this in case.

Going through sketchbooks to find incomplete ones

Going through sketchbooks to find incomplete ones (that’s another story!) and enjoying all my notes-to-self.
In today’s Art Juice [215] we chat a bit about sketchbooks, and how I’m not a proper artist because I choose not to draw picturesque Italian villages on holiday.
Do you have any ideas you’ll be shifting if you were to have a #shouldfreesummer ?

❓but why bother…?
Early days. My feeling was an immediate NO, followed by “try it out”, then “it’s noisy” but “could be fun and light and easy”
Are you there already? What do you think…

Enjoying the pairing of different paintings… isn’t that part of the joy of collecting art?
I’m currently figuring out a way to show in pairs on my website to try and recreate this …. 😍
This is an idea that’s been brewing for a while so it’s been lovely to hang them this way.
How do you like mixing things up?
