It seems like the artist finds his way in the enjoyment of painting in a 'born free' manner. 
Often there are the small and inconspicuous things that contain much richness and beauty. 
A cheerful minded painter discovers them and creates artworks from it, which transfer this spontaneous enjoyment of painting onto the spectator and creates a strong feeling of happiness.
