When you draw or paint a tree, you do not imitate the tree; you do not copy it exactly as it is, which would be mere photography. To be free to paint a tree or a flower or a sunset, you have to feel what it conveys to you: the significance, the meaning of it. Jiddu Krishnamurti

Flower, Sunset, Tree, Free, You, Meaning

Claude Monet

Tree, Blue, Yellow, Color, Pink, Think

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That's why we paint, that's why we dare to love someone - because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Maya Angelou

Love, Walk, Mountains, Climb, Someone

You see a child play, and it is so close to seeing an artist paint, for in play a child says things without uttering a word. You can see how he solves his problems. You can also see what's wrong. Young children, especially, have enormous creativity, and whatever's in them rises to the surface in free play. Erik Erikson

Children, Child, Creativity, Problems

In teaching color, you teach people how to look something and see the tone in it and break it down to be able to paint it and reproduce that color.

People, Colors, Color, You, Down, Look

Often, when cheating happens, we rush to place blame solely on one person - either the person who did the cheating, or more insidiously, if it happened to us, we blame ourselves for not being 'good enough' to keep them around.

Good, Blame, Picture, Cheating, Place

At the earliest age, when I saw a 'wet paint' sign, I had to touch the paint to see if it was wet. When I get stopped at the stoplight in the middle of the night, and there's just no cars coming, and the light is red, I go. I don't think I'm putting anyone in harm's way, and I'll just take the consequences. Because I'm a Libertarian. Gary Johnson

Light, Age, Red, Night, Think, See
