Summary: <p>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. </p> <p>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.</p> <p><strong>Mentioned</strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/elainetobinart/">Elaine Tobin on Instagram</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.jonclayton-artist.com/">Jon Clayton's website (look under books)</a></p> <p><a href="//">Joan Mitchell book</a></p> <p><strong><br> Find our websites and sign up for our newsletters at: </strong></p> <p><a href="https://www.alicesheridan.com/"><u>www.alicesheridan.com</u></a><u><strong> </strong></u></p> <p><a href="https://www.louisefletcherart.com">www.louisefletcherart.com</a></p> <p><strong>Follow us on Instagram:</strong></p> <p>@alicesheridanstudio </p> <p>@louisefletcher_art</p> <p><em>"Monkeys Spinning Monkeys" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License</em></p>
