Ok, time to start thinking about what I want this painting to become:

One day I got on the bus, and when I stepped in, I saw the most gorgeous blond Chinese girl.

I sat beside her.

I said, ‘Hi’, And she said, ‘Hi’, and then I said, ‘Nice day, isn’t it?’.

And she said, ‘I saw my analyst today and he says I have a problem.’

So I asked, ‘What’s the problem?’ She replied, ‘I can’t tell you. I don’t even know you.’

I said, ‘Well, sometimes it’s good to tell your problems to a perfect stranger on a bus.’

So she said, ‘Well, my analyst said I’m a nymphomaniac and I only like Jewish cowboys… By the way, my name is Denise.’

I said, ‘Hello, Denise. My name is Bucky Goldstein.’.
