Break up your shapes
Use three colors
Take no prisoners
Don't think about the thing
Think about the shadow it creates
Match the thing to the shadow
Get to the shape
Remove the personality
Talk to the bone
Light the flame
Why not paint?
Rather than be in pain, when I light a fire on my own bone?
Get lost in looking
Take your hammer
Smash the standard
Lift the spirit
Free the mind
Simplify the simple
Complexity the complex
Do all the details
and get your idea across, or just do one detail.
Photograph the half.
Freeze the frame
Walk the tundra
Wrap the cloak
Kill the horse
Sleep in its belly
when the cold wind blows. Or save the horse, for Pete's sake, get a rabbit skin cloak, freeze a bit on that one cold night, then you'd have the horse to ride another day, and be the Pony Express, traveling fast to deliver the message.
