Happy Artists

If you're wondering where the happy artists are, obviously you never watched the guy on PBS who has a show teaching how to paint. He is the most laid back individual I have ever seen. I almost wonder if he is perpetually stoned.
The movies have definitely helped understand the artists a lot more. I wonder if there will be a movie on "Jack the Dripper" Pollack. I would be curious to see exactly what led him down the road to throwing paint on a canvas from above. The same for the snowshovel guy.

It does as alot of the artists are depressed or disturbed in most of their paintings. Their feelings do come out in their drawings and tecniques. Yeh, the guy on T.V. is always happy. Maybe it's because he is on T.V and he is not a struggling artist as all the others in the past.
