In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. In painting, you have unlimited power. You have the ability to move mountains. You can bend rivers. But when I get home, the only thing I have power over is the garbage. In life you need colors. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. There's not a thing in the world wrong with washing your brush. Maybe he has a little friend that lives right over here. This is probably the greatest thing to happen in my life - to be able to share this with you. Let the paint work. Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. I will take some magic white, and a little bit of Vandyke brown and a little touch of yellow.

Work on one thing at a time. Don't get carried away - we have plenty of time. And I know you're saying, 'Oh Bob, you've done it this time.' And you may be right. Isn't it great to do something you can't fail at? We have a fantastic little sky! Anything you want to do you can do here. That's a crooked tree. We'll send him to Washington. It's so important to do something every day that will make you happy. Don't be bashful drop me a line. If we're gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. We don't need any guidelines or formats. All we need to do is just let it flow right out of us.

It's beautiful - and we haven't even done anything to it yet. Everyone is going to see things differently - and that's the way it should be. Maybe there's a happy little bush that lives right there. Here's something that's fun. I'll go over the colors one more time that we use: Titanium white, Thalo green, Prussian blue, Van Dyke brown, Alizarin crimson, Sap green, Cad yellow, and Permanent red. Use what happens naturally, don't fight it. Just let go - and fall like a little waterfall. It's almost like something out of a fairytale book. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush. These trees are so much fun. I get started on them and I have a hard time stopping.

This is truly an almighty mountain. Here we're limited by the time we have. Let's make some happy little clouds in our world. That's the way I look when I get home late; black and blue. In life you need colors. And I know you're saying, 'Oh Bob, you've done it this time.' And you may be right. I guess I'm a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That's okay though; I have more fun than most people. Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. Look around, look at what we have. Beauty is everywhere, you only have to look to see it. Let's get wild today.

Let the paint work. Now we can begin working on lots of happy little things. Just think about these things in your mind - then bring them into your world. Be careful. You can always add more - but you can't take it away. There is no right or wrong - as long as it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone. I really recommend you use odorless thinner or your spouse is gonna run you right out into the yard and you'll be working by yourself. Nature is so fantastic, enjoy it. Let it make you happy. Just let this happen. We just let this flow right out of our minds. Let that brush dance around there and play. They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers--just to upset the critics.

We wash our brush with odorless thinner. Let the paint work. This is your world. You can't make a mistake. Anything that happens you can learn to use - and make something beautiful out of it. How do you make a round circle with a square knife? That's your challenge for the day. We don't have anything but happy trees here. You don't have to spend all your time thinking about what you're doing, you just let it happen. If you don't like it - change it. It's your world. Only God can make a tree - but you can paint one. Work on one thing at a time. Don't get carried away - we have plenty of time.

Let your imagination be your guide. All kinds of happy little splashes. Brown is such a nice color. Let the paint work. In nature, dead trees are just as normal as live trees. This is unplanned it really just happens. If we're going to have animals around we all have to be concerned about them and take care of them. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. There is no right or wrong - as long as it makes you happy and doesn't hurt anyone. That's a crooked tree. We'll send him to Washington.

The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. It's beautiful - and we haven't even done anything to it yet. Just go back and put one little more happy tree in there. It's life. It's interesting. It's fun. Let's make a nice big leafy tree. Nothing wrong with washing your brush. You better get your coat out, this is going to be a cold painting. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. There it is. The more we do this - the more it will do good things to our heart.

I'm sort of a softy, I couldn't shoot Bambi except with a camera. Let's get wild today. Only eight colors that you need. I guess I'm a little weird. I like to talk to trees and animals. That's okay though; I have more fun than most people. Very easy to work these to death. Just think about these things in your mind - then bring them into your world. If these lines aren't straight, your water's going to run right out of your painting and get your floor wet. The least little bit can do so much. There we go. This piece of canvas is your world.

Let's give him a friend too. Everybody needs a friend. I'm sort of a softy, I couldn't shoot Bambi except with a camera. Maybe he has a little friend that lives right over here. Isn't that fantastic? You can just push a little tree out of your brush like that. 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. Anything you want to do you can do here. If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is. Trees cover up a multitude of sins. They say everything looks better with odd numbers of things. But sometimes I put even numbers--just to upset the critics. This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you're experiencing it.
