So I was painting just now, oil painting, which I love. I was singing this little song while I was stroking the brush up and down the canvas. I was singing "You like it like this, You like it like that" and the brush was stroking the canvas, and I was swaying back and forth, and having a _REALLY_ good time, and I thought I'd share it with all of you. So I recorded this little song.
Now I was painting again and listening to my song, and singing along, stroking my brush up and down the canvas, and I realized, hey, it's a love song! And, it's a little obscene ;) I hope you like it!
This is my song of love to my painting, it's what I sing to tickle a little more life out of the colors or the canvas when they're not being too flexible. Maybe it will make them laugh, lighten up a little, and they'll flow better, happily down, and jollily jel in place there for you to see someday.
It's a painting of a hand. It wasn't supposed to be done right now but I kind of like it and it's just a small test painting to see where a larger painting I already started (self portrait of the artist as a pair of hands) may want to go. I have another couple small test hands I may take in different directions so I'm not even sure this is what I want. So anyway.
I took the picture with my video camera and the colors are way off. But anyway you get the idea. I realize now this painting kind of sucks. Well at least I like the little song I got out of the process and I had a _lot_ of fun. Maybe a little too much fun ;)
