Life Is Supposed to Be Fun

This pretty little book is filled with paintings, poems and stories all of which came to me while painting in my studio over the years. My impressionistic style started as a young child after my parents took me to the Monet gardens and museum in Giverny, France. Over the years of painting I discovered that it was only worth doing if I was in a state of fun, joy or love. Whenever I painted in a state of confusion, worry or frustration the paintings themselves didn't work out, for whatever reason. It is almost as if the state of mind has a great deal to do with the outcome of things. It took me over ten years to realize that fun was the key to making paintings beautiful, and when I was more than certain of this, I change things around so that I was always in this great state of mind, at least while painting. I do however fall off the fun train from time to time but at least now I know, not to paint. So learn the best kept secret of the trade, paint in joy, and see the results. Looking at artwork that is done in a state of fun, joy or love is like taking a get well pill for everything. But don't believe me, look at the paintings and see for yourself.
