I do ask myself if the series didn't tire him at times. He obviously loved his fans, writing them letters back and sometimes calling them and I bet it was fun for him to paint for the show, but considering he always had to do the shown painting to other times, I'm wondering if he wasn't a little demotivated after finishing the first one and knowing he had to make two almost exact replicas. Still, he was the sweetest.

This man was no artist. He was a magician. He taps with a brush and thing appear. I wish he was my teacher.

The beautiful thing about it tho ...is he actually just looks like he’s tapping ...he’s not he’s strategically placing every single mark on that canvas he became a very fast painter ...that’s another big mistake people make when they try to learn his paintings ..they try to keep up with him ..it’s impossible until you really do learn the composition aspect and the freedom of really creating whatever you want .that’s when you experience the joy of painting ..He Really doesn’t have any secrets and he says so many times ..the man literally taught me how to paint just watching him and paying very close attention to exactly what he says ..Hope others someday that wanted to try realize that when he says anyone can paint ...it’s true

The moment when he did the fallen tree out of nowhere as he was running out of time was so epic.
