Within one hour of touching the brush to canvas for the first time, my students have a total, complete painting.
Gotta have opposites, light and dark and dark and light, in painting. It’s like in life. Gotta have a little sadness once in awhile so you know when the good times come. I’m waiting on the good times now.
You know me, I think there ought to be a big old tree right there. And let’s give him a friend. Everybody needs a friend.
They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers – just to upset the critics.
If what you’re doing doesn’t make you happy, you’re doing the wrong thing.
That’s initially what got me interested in painting, is that I could create any kind of world that I wanted. No bad stuff here. That’s why we have happy little trees, and everything’s happy here.
The very fact that you’re aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you’re alive and can experience it.
We put some dark in, only so our light will show. You have to have dark in order to show light.
In life you need colors.
There is immense joy in just watching all the little creatures in nature.
We each see the world in our own way. That’s what makes it such a special place.
All it takes is just a little change of perspective and you begin to see a whole new world.
You’ll never believe what you can do until you get in there and try it.
I think each of us, sometime in our life, has wanted to paint a picture.
Every single thing in the world has its own personality, and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals.
There’s beauty in every tree and every bush. Just take the time to look at’em.
We don’t really know where this goes, and I’m not sure we really care.
In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees.
Friends are the most important commodity in the world. Even a tree needs a friend.
If we all painted the same way, what a boring world it would be.
Whichever way works for you, that’s the right way and that’s all that counts.
