Principal's Message

You want your tree to have some character. Make it special. Just let these leaves jump off the brush Just relax and let it flow. That easy. The more we do this - the more it will do good things to our heart. Maybe there was an old trapper that lived out here and maybe one day he went to check his beaver traps, and maybe he fell into the river and drowned. Just a little indication.

 

Just think about these things in your mind and drop em' on canvas. And maybe a little bush lives there. A thin paint will stick to a thick paint. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. There are no mistakes. You can fix anything that happens. Put it in, leave it alone.

I guess that would be considered a UFO. A big cotton ball in the sky. Trees cover up a multitude of sins. Everything is happy if you choose to make it that way. Little short strokes.

 

Mountains are so simple, they're hard. Everybody needs a friend. Once you learn the technique, ohhh! Turn you loose on the world; you become a tiger. A fan brush is a fantastic piece of equipment. Use it. Make friends with it. See there how easy that is.

You can't have light without dark. You can't know happiness unless you've known sorrow. Talkto trees, look at the birds. Whatever it takes. You're meant to have fun in life. We'll put all the little clouds in and let them dance around and have fun. If you overwork it you become a cloud killer. There's nothing worse than a cloud killer. Working it up and down, back and forth.

 

Maybe there's a happy little bush that lives right there. Life is too short to be alone, too precious. Share it with a friend. Don't forget to tell these special people in your life just how special they are to you.

Any little thing can be your friend if you let it be. Every highlight needs it's own personal shadow. We'll do another happy little painting. Everything's not great in life, but we can still find beauty in it. If we're going to have animals around we all have to be concerned about them and take care of them. It's life. It's interesting. It's fun.
