It’s easy to paint when you are inspired.

OK, it may not be easy to paint but it’s easy to approach the easel.

But what about when you are sad, angry, frustrated, grieving, or whatever…

That’s when I do a throw up painting.

Yep, you heard me. A throw-up painting!

Just paint the emotion you are feeling.

Don’t try to make it look like anything. Just put the paint down and get it out of your system.
