Imagination is the key to painting. If you don't think every day is a good day - try missing a few. You'll see. And just raise cain. Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be.
This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you're experiencing it. And that's when it becomes fun - you don't have to spend your time thinking about what's happening - you just let it happen. That's the way I look when I get home late; black and blue.
I'm gonna start with a little Alizarin crimson and a touch of Prussian blue Just make little strokes like that. You are only limited by your imagination. Very easy to work these to death. Get away from those little Christmas tree things we used to make in school.
If you hypnotize it, it will go away. Put light against light - you have nothing. Put dark against dark - you have nothing. It's the contrast of light and dark that each give the other one meaning. Now we don't want him to get lonely, so we'll give him a little friend. Trees get lonely too, so we'll give him a little friend. Now let's put some happy little clouds in here.
I thought today we would do a happy little picture. Every highlight needs it's own personal shadow. If you've been in Alaska less than a year you're a Cheechako. Put it in, leave it alone. A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow.
Let's build some happy little clouds up here. I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. In your imagination you can go anywhere you want. You can do anything here. So don't worry about it. But they're very easily killed. Clouds are delicate. We'll paint one happy little tree right here.
Trees grow however makes them happy. Trees cover up a multitude of sins. All you have to do is let your imagination go wild. The only prerequisite is that it makes you happy. If it makes you happy then it's good. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way.
