I was not out to paint beautiful pictures; even painting good pictures was not important to me. I wanted only to help the truth burst forth.
Alice Miller

I wish there was a painter who could paint as well as Ted Williams could hit.

I write because I write - as anyone in the arts does. You're a painter because you feel you have no choice but to paint. You're a writer because this is what you do.
Richard Price

I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.
Norman Rockwell

I'm just a landscape painter. I look out the window and I see what's going on, and I paint it. While I'm painting it, I also write thoughts about what I see going on out there.
William Wiley

I'm sorry I didn't wear paint this morning. I tend not to wear it unless I'm getting highly paid.
Tyne Daly

Vincent Van Gogh

If you know somethin' well, you can always paint it but people would be better off buyin' chickens.
Grandma Moses

If you paint in your mind a picture of bright and happy expectations, you put yourself into a condition conducive to your goal.
Norman Vincent Peale

In my experience a painting is not made with colors and paint at all. I don't know what a painting is; who knows what sets off even the desire to paint?
Philip Guston

In painting feathers, you want to create the look of feathers, but if you try to paint all the feathers, you have nothing but disaster.
John O'Neill

Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
