The Painting Guy

Have you seen that guy who does painting on TV? with close-curl hair like his landscape greenery, although he is a genius that's to be sure, and with him what's less is definitely more. I remember my feeble art attempts at school, but managed to retrieve my reputation from being a fool, somehow my crap turned out to be not too bad, however, the expectations can drive you mad. Now, a 'wash' turned out to be a thing of beauty, shading, grading, as tho' it was still running to me, my art master said that we're not all capable of 'magicals,' and that everyone's seen a prick and two balls. One wonders how Da Vinci may twitch in his grave, thinking of all the wonderful work that Michaelangelo gave.
