Artists live for Happy Accidents. They are literally goof-ups that end up being better than your original intention.
Original Loosey Goosey Wash forHad a couple happy accidents on this gouache study trying to capture beatific light in the encroaching dust of a slot canyon. It definitely wasn't what I intended but it was so much better than what I thought I wanted. Thus the term: Happy Accident. Had to stop and do an insurance scan just in case I ruin it with the floating apparition of a Majacava Beauty I want to put in the middle of that light. You know, like this:

I know what you're thinking: "Hey, aren't you a little old to be playing in the mud like a two-year-old?" Well, if you're thinking that, go ask Minnie.
Source analysis: When a band is performing, it often grasps the attention of everyone around since bands are loud and both visually and audibly entertaining. If something “is beating the band,” it is being done so greatly that it is visually and/or audibly overpowering the band. This hyperbolic expression compares an occurrence to a band to capture the extent to which something is being done. If the rain is beating the band, for example, it must be raining so hard that it is loud and/or visually shocking.

How I heard my grandmother say,
"Can you speak Norwegian?"
"Snakker du norsk?"
—How you apparently say, "Do you speak Norwegian?"
