Laughing at our mistakes can lengthen our lives.
Laughing at someone else's can shorten it.

The day I went out to the Broad Ripple Canal to create this painting I was feeling very hurt and distracted. So much so that I FORGOT TO BRING BRUSHES TO PAINT WITH!
So... I laughed at myself then took the paint straight out of the tubes and smeared it on with my fingers. Luckily I also had some pens to work with too. It is not my best painting ever- but it was fun to do once I got over my 'great expectations.'

It reminds me of those crazy bright Fauve paintings like Matisse and Derain...
