Here we're limited by the time we have. Here we're limited by the time we have. How do you make a round circle with a square knife? That's your challenge for the day. Don't be bashful drop me a line. You can't have light without dark. You can't know happiness unless you've known sorrow. All you have to do is let your imagination go wild. You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. This is a happy place, little squirrels live here and play. We'll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. I like to beat the brush.

There is immense joy in just watching - watching all the little creatures in nature. Now let's put some happy little clouds in here. If we're gonna walk though the woods, we need a little path. You can work and carry-on and put lots of little happy things in here. Now we can begin working on lots of happy little things. Let's do it again then, what the heck. Don't fiddle with it all day. You can create beautiful things - but you have to see them in your mind first. We have all at one time or another mixed some mud. In your imagination you can go anywhere you want.

Every day I learn. La- da- da- da- dah. Just be happy. Every single thing in the world has its own personality - and it is up to you to make friends with the little rascals. Those great big fluffy clouds. Be careful. You can always add more - but you can't take it away. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger. Of course he's a happy little stone, cause we don't have any other kind. Isn't it great to do something you can't fail at? We'll put some happy little leaves here and there. The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow.

We'll take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown. So often we avoid running water, and running water is a lot of fun. From all of us here, I want to wish you happy painting and God bless, my friends. If I paint something, I don't want to have to explain what it is. This is the way you take out your flustrations. We might as well make some Almighty mountains today as well, what the heck. I spend a lot of time walking around in the woods and talking to trees, and squirrels, and little rabbits and stuff. That is when you can experience true joy, when you have no fear. Now let's put some happy little clouds in here. Clouds are free they come and go as they please.

God gave you this gift of imagination. Use it. We don't have to be committed. We are just playing here. Automatically, all of these beautiful, beautiful things will happen. We'll take a little bit of Van Dyke Brown. I get carried away with this brush cleaning. Let's do it again then, what the heck. We need dark in order to show light. You could sit here for weeks with your one hair brush trying to do that - or you could do it with one stroke with an almighty brush. You have to allow the paint to break to make it beautiful. Work that paint.

This is truly an almighty mountain. Let's do it again then, what the heck. The only thing worse than yellow snow is green snow. All kinds of happy little splashes. This present moment is perfect simply due to the fact you're experiencing it. You can get away with a lot. I really believe that if you practice enough you could paint the 'Mona Lisa' with a two-inch brush. I thought today we would do a happy little picture. Don't fight it, use what happens. Let's make some happy little clouds in our world.

We start with a vision in our heart, and we put it one canvas. Making all those little fluffies that live in the clouds. This is your creation - and it's just as unique and special as you are. Put it in, leave it alone. Van Dyke Brown is a very nice brown, it's almost like a chocolate brown. It's a very cold picture, I may have to go get my coat. It's about to freeze me to death. Work on one thing at a time. Don't get carried away - we have plenty of time. Painting should do one thing. It should put happiness in your heart. Don't hurry. Take your time and enjoy. Let's put some happy trees and bushes back in here.

You have freedom here. The only guide is your heart. Isn't it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things? Trees live in your fan brush, but you have to scare them out. This is your creation - and it's just as unique and special as you are. At home you have unlimited time. Anytime you learn something your time and energy are not wasted. We need dark in order to show light. Put it in, leave it alone. Learn when to stop. I'm sort of a softy, I couldn't shoot Bambi except with a camera.

Work that paint. It is a lot of fun. I was blessed with a very steady hand; and it comes in very handy when you're doing these little delicate things. If you didn't have baby clouds, you wouldn't have big clouds. You could sit here for weeks with your one hair brush trying to do that - or you could do it with one stroke with an almighty brush. It's a good way of getting rid of all your anxieties and hostilities. 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. Talent is a pursued interest. That is to say, anything you practice you can do. Exercising the imagination, experimenting with talents, being creative; these things, to me, are truly the windows to your soul. Use what you see, don't plan it.

A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Clouds are free they come and go as they please. It's a very cold picture, I may have to go get my coat. It's about to freeze me to death. This piece of canvas is your world. You can't have light without dark. You can't know happiness unless you've known sorrow. Tree trunks grow however makes them happy. You have freedom here. The only guide is your heart. That's what painting is all about. It should make you feel good when you paint. This is unplanned it really just happens. With something so strong, a little bit can go a long way.
