Even if I were not an artist, I would watch you every day to cheer myself up. If you could beam yourself into every home in America, people would stop taking Prozac.
PS My Android won't let me edit. I forgot to tell you I want to join your church. I'm afraid of religion, too. I'm not afraid of GodLordCreatorSourceOfAllLife, but religion is scary AF. Lol.
I knew it. THIS little talk is whyyyy i knew in my bones that you're a good guy. Ofcourse i found ya randomly like 2 wks ago (?????) But i kept on clicking ... laughing with ya ... n listening n watching n being inspired... But besides your BEAUTIFUL art, i KNEW there was something in you that is bang ON point. Agree w your comments. Im living proof... i could b your Tia... or mom ( maybe LOL!!... ).... Silence is sacred. I crave.... it. Require it... anyways. It's a wrap, NOW i reallyyy reallyyy understand why you resonate w me dude.... appreciate ya Jose. As I've mentioned before, you're an old soul. Keep up the good work. TY !! keep laughing n sharing n painting. You cant put a $sign on what you're bringing to the world. When i paint, i do NOT think. True. It's legit. O.k. gotta feed my babies... then go paint💃💃💃💃💃
I recently became a widow. I have always loved art as long as I can remember. My pain has caused me to do better art. Because I have just let go. And by the way it's okay to say Jesus Christ. It is because of Him that I live. And yes, love is the way. He taught it in the Scriptures. Jose, thank you for inspiring many of us.
I reallt love this! the painting style and ease, but also, you are literally showing us your philosophy of the “silent mind, that allows the unknown to become known and ‘rise’ in the practice of painting…” awesome!
Your mother was right. I can appreciate your ramblings here today. It's funny you touched on this today. I myself, became "awake" through the events that happened to my dad at a nursing home. I learned about what a Narcissist Psychopath really are. -Its frightening to learn about what it is, and who they are, and the huge amount of of pain and distruction they level on their victims lives. This goes way beyond someone who likes the way they look in the mirror,... No, these are people who intend, and most often do do real devistating harm in your life. So yes, I became "awake" to the true evil that one human being can do to another.... and more importantly, how that one person can brainwash, or intimidate others to do evil for them as well. Yes, a Director of Nurses at my dad's nursing home "woke" me up to the fact that SATAN DOES EXIST, AND HE HAS MANY MINIONS!!! Sorry for the rant,... but this experience changed my life, and took my dad's.😢😔😢 RIP dad 12.21.18 Be careful, be safe,... and if you don't know about these kinds of people.... Learn. My best to you all.❤️🙏📖 P.S. Tip, yoga and meditation are portals... Study it and you will see. Meditate on GODs word...
Jose, not sure if you saw it but right after you said “if you ever get lost in the Bible stuff, return to love, that’s the way out “ at 9:11, you drew a rainbow just as clear as day🌈. It only lasted for a split second before it was painted over but I felt like it was a message. We can get confused about a lot of things, but as far as God goes, returning to love is the way to go 100% of the time. Love is the way.
Wow, I came here to learn about your art and i'm going to be leaving with so much more. It's great to hear you talk about always coming back to love, it is true. Great advice 😁Love the painting as well ✌️All the best
So I thought I would try your first painting and I listened to you while I painted it. It really helped me keep my mind clear while I stepped off the acrylics ledge onto the oil one! Thanks for that.
Jose, this is my all time favorite of your videos. I've come to the same awarenesses from my own studies but, from the artist viewpoint, you create it with clarity and practical application. Much thanks. And of course, great paintings.
Dear Jose, Thank you for sharing and reminding us to let go of the baggage and the I don't know. I am following my life long dream of painting. Many people compliment my art and when the ask how I do it the answer is I don't know. I place dabs, blobs and lines of colour and blend. When I was a child , I would spends hours drawing and colouring little people animals and stuff. Then I would go door to door selling my little pictures for a few pennies. Quite often, I would enlist my little best friend to work with me. Yes I did sell quite a few pictures. Now I have studied, taken a few courses and read a lot about drawing and painting. Presently, I am painting with oil pastels because I just love the way they blend and work with light and I love the feeling of them. Thank you for the video you did about starting off in Craigslist. I am going to do the same and similar. I was wondering how to go about selling my art, making prints and online forums. I am also wondering about copy rights.
Man you have such valuable and unique content, I have to admit I have been taking myself too seriously as I came to realise I don't have any option but to make it with art. Even though it's a multi-year project before I think I will be able to make a living, the pressure of knowing I have to commit made me tense up and allow some fear to creep in, but your videos have been a breath of fresh air and truly an inspiration, so thank you.
Clicked on how you started selling paintings. First thought you were probably full of crap. I was wrong. Clicked on this. Serendipity. Nice work. Nice chat. Gracias.
Wise words’ I now get it! A relative said to me today I like your countryside paintings but not that abstract stuff you do’ I did not answer ! And I thought you can have a preference but not own me’ I will do whatever comes into my mind and paint it and I don’t care about likes’ I do it to suit my thoughts and feelings but I learn through mistakes and experimentation’. The idea of removing the suggestion of a word can help to see the real thing’ with no power to suggest otherwise!
Jose, I knew when we spoke (4-5 yrs ago), that you “had something!” The universe brought me here tonight and I so so enjoyed watching and listening to YOU! You art style is more loose, and I love it still! Where do I find pieces for sale? From Indiana
Yes, its interesting how deep people get into ONE religion without any exploration. I'm atheist but have read a bit on many versions. I know an artist friend, who I know is painting within the limitations of his religion (no people, landscapes) you can probably guess which one. Great calligrapher, but he could do more if he freed his mind.
Hi Jose, I love your simplied method of your paintings, it shows how relaxed you are. Thats funny as I text that I heard you mention simplicity. Lol! We're on the same page. Well I wanted to comment on your background, your easel, right above your canvas I saw a lake filled with flowers to the front and a statue right above. You've got to enhance that. I love it! Keep up that moral!!!
Fascinating and beautiful ❣️. I watched the whole thing without sound. After reading comments I'm definitely going to listen next time. Very intrigued 🙏
Hi Jose, Congrats on what you do! I need advice and probably I know the answer... I am a semi-pro artist. Every year I participate in an event that every painting sells for $100 or less. This year I decided not to participate because I have clients who paid good money for my paintings. But inside of me, I am sad. I love that show! I meet a lot of people and sells usually between 40 to 50 paintings each time. I am a heavy painter and I have a lot of paintings in my studio, so it is a good way to clear my inventory and make some space. I received professional advice that I should not participate because it diminished the values of my paintings..... Could you tell me what you would do? thank you so much Jose...:))
Love your spontaneous, simple style Jose. That's what love is about, simple spontaneous...our natural way. At 14.38 you said there's a lot of "pressure" in silence. Pressure implies resistance, pushing against something. I think you meant to say tapping into creative energy. At the same time I find there is complete relaxation in silence. So there is no forcing of anything, but rather spontaneous flow of this creative energy. (Otherwise known as love :) ) Is that what you meant to say?
You’re an amazing artist but a little too opinionated. So I will shut my mind off from what you’re saying and let go and paint. No offense. By the way Jesus said “ I am the way the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me! So He is the truth and all else is false. Otherwise nothing makes sense. Also the yoke Jesus talked about was the burden that false religions have on our souls. Jesus said trust in Him alone
