Remember how free clouds are. They just lay around in the sky all day long. Now then, let’s play. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort. Having a good day. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it.

That’s the way I look when I get home late; black and blue. When things happen – enjoy them. They’re little gifts. Get away from those little Christmas tree things we used to make in school. By now you should be quite happy about what’s happening here. From all of us here, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless, my friends.

This painting comes right out of your heart. It all happens automatically. And maybe a little bush lives there. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the ‘Mona Lisa’ with a two-inch brush. Every time you practice, you learn more.

Let’s give him a friend too. Everybody needs a friend. We’ll have a super time. What the devil.

Put it in, leave it alone. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and talking to trees, and squirrels, and little rabbits and stuff. We artists are a different breed of people. We’re a happy bunch. All you need is a dream in your heart, and an almighty knife. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life – to be able to share this with you. A fan brush can be your best friend.

Use what happens naturally, don’t fight it. But we’re not there yet, so we don’t need to worry about it. Look around, look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it. Work that paint. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There’s nothing worse than a cloud killer.
