I just gotta do it.

Sometimes you see a picture of your grand children and you just gotta paint it. That was the way with this painting.

In the Cincinnati Museum of art I saw a painting of the old man herding the sheep and just had to paint it. Just like Monet's Japan bridge, or his field of lavender, and the waterlily's. These are things I want to try to paint.

Van Gogh always painted Millet's paintings, he loved the workers  in the field. For so many reasons we love to paint like our hero's and we can learn so much.

I don't know if learning is more important or the act of painting but I know I can learn and lose time. It helps me relax and forget my problems for a minute.

So keep your brushes wet and your pictures in color.
