That easy. Only God can make a tree – but you can paint one. The little tiny Tim easels will let you down. If it’s not what you want – stop and change it. Don’t just keep going and expect it will get better.
The more we do this – the more it will do good things to our heart. Work on one thing at a time. Don’t get carried away – we have plenty of time. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. But we’re not there yet, so we don’t need to worry about it. Let’s put some happy trees and bushes back in here. Go out on a limb – that’s where the fruit is.
We might as well make some Almighty mountains today as well, what the heck. Let’s make some happy little clouds in our world. It’s important to me that you’re happy. Absolutely no pressure. You are just a whisper floating across a mountain. You can spend all day playing with mountains. I was blessed with a very steady hand; and it comes in very handy when you’re doing these little delicate things.
This is your world. You have to make almighty decisions when you’re the creator. Little short strokes. You don’t want to kill all your dark areas they are very important. That’s what makes life fun. That you can make these decisions. That you can create the world that you want. Look at them little rascals.
Let the paint work. The least little bit can do so much. This is a fantastic little painting. Let’s get crazy. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There’s nothing worse than a cloud killer. Let’s have a nice tree right here.
You can’t make a mistake. Anything that happens you can learn to use – and make something beautiful out of it. Don’t hurry. Take your time and enjoy. It’s beautiful – and we haven’t even done anything to it yet. I think there’s an artist hidden in the bottom of every single one of us. With practice comes confidence. We’ll throw some old gray clouds in here just sneaking around and having fun.
Do an almighty painting with us. I like to beat the brush. There comes a nice little fluffer. In your world you can create anything you desire.
If you don’t like it – change it. It’s your world. Isn’t that fantastic that you can create an almighty tree that fast? It’s all a game of angles. We’ll paint one happy little tree right here. Let’s give him a friend too. Everybody needs a friend. Isn’t it fantastic that you can change your mind and create all these happy things?
Learn when to stop. Talk to trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes. We’ll put a happy little sky in here. And I will hypnotize that just a little bit. You gotta think like a tree. You can do anything here – the only pre-requisite is that it makes you happy.
Water’s like me. It’s laaazy … Boy, it always looks for the easiest way to do things Now then, let’s play. Volunteering your time; it pays you and your whole community fantastic dividends. There we go. We don’t have to be concerned about it. We just have to let it fall where it will. It’s a good way of getting rid of all your anxieties and hostilities.
Get tough with it, get strong. You can work and carry-on and put lots of little happy things in here. What the devil. Take your time. Speed will come later.
Just let your mind wander and enjoy. This should make you happy. Let’s build an almighty mountain. Let’s go up in here, and start having some fun Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. Even the worst thing we can do here is good. If we’re going to have animals around we all have to be concerned about them and take care of them.
And I know you’re saying, ‘Oh Bob, you’ve done it this time.’ And you may be right. If what you’re doing doesn’t make you happy – you’re doing the wrong thing. Painting should do one thing. It should put happiness in your heart. You can create the world you want to see and be a part of. You have that power. This is the fun part
You’re meant to have fun in life. When things happen – enjoy them. They’re little gifts. These trees are so much fun. I get started on them and I have a hard time stopping. Without washing the brush, I’m gonna go right into some Van Dyke Brown, some Burnt Umber, and a little bit of Sap Green. We’ll put some happy little leaves here and there.
Isn’t that fantastic? It takes dark in order to show light. If you didn’t have baby clouds, you wouldn’t have big clouds. You better get your coat out, this is going to be a cold painting.
