why not

today we had to draw some boxes, mixing colors with dark blue and brown, and then i thought how wonderful it would be
if what we paint from our minds
becomes real in life, and then happiness comes from there, like a river.
what about the postman that comes to our place delivering us these letters, and the doves who come to us with love notes, telling us
that the trees are smiling and the kids with the balloons are dreaming of a future, filled with honey and wafers? that is when we go back to a fairy tale, where we fall in love with some eyes and the obsession with the color blue begins.
when the obsession ends, you have to let me know.
there was a fish in the water telling me that he found a secret but he needed to get out of water in order to show me. i wouldn't let him leave his comfort zone. maybe one day, i told him, i will find it myself , back in the ocean again, where it actually belongs.

Sounds like a Dr. Suess book, or "What Dreams May Come".

Use thinner on first layer - odorless mineral spirits (OMS).
Done for the day? -use ANY cheap vegetable oil to clean brushes, then wash them with soap and water.
