I dream of painting and then I paint my dream. Vincent Van Gogh

Dreams, Painting, Dream

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

Tree, Feel, Which

Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. - Danny Kaye

Life is a great big canvas; throw all the paint you can at it. Danny Kaye

Life Is A, Big, Canvas

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, Reason, Explain

I just wanted to paint and sketch and tell stories by drawing. Robert Redford

Tell, Stories, Wanted

Nature, Beauty, Decided

One can't paint New York as it is, but rather as it is felt. Georgia O'Keeffe

New York, New, Rather

The mountains seem to have conquered us long before we set foot on them, and they will remain long after our brief existence. This indomitable force of the mountains gives us humans a blank canvas on which to paint the drive of discovery and, in the process, test the limits of human performance. Conrad Anker

Mountains, Before, Blank

In art, there is no need for color; I see only light and shade. Give me a crayon, and I will paint your portrait. Francisco Goya

Art, Color, Give

Try to forget what objects you have before you - a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, 'Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,' and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you. Claude Monet

Color, Pink, Here

I paint flowers so they will not die. - Frida Kahlo

I paint flowers so they will not die. Frida Kahlo

Flowers, Die, Will

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. - Pablo Picasso

It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child. Pablo Picasso

Like, Four, Took

I was a daughterless mother. I had nowhere to put the things a mother places on her daughter. The nail polish I used to paint our toenails hardened. Our favorite videos gathered dust. Her small apron was in a box in the attic. Her shoes - the sparkly ones, the leopard rain boots, the ballet slippers - stood in a corner. Ann Hood

Small, Had, Stood

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself. Abraham Maslow

Artist, Himself, Ultimately

I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don't try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordinary. Andy Warhol

Happen, Ordinary, Like

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait. Salvador Dali

Grow, Like, His

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. But then, I'm psychedelic, so I look at color differently. I like colors that are in contrast with one another, so that they flicker back and forth. John Van Hamersveld

Color, Tone, Flicker

I hate flowers - I paint them because they're cheaper than models and they don't move. Georgia O'Keeffe

Flowers, Cheaper, Models

When I have a terrible need of - shall I say the word - religion. Then I go out and paint the stars. Vincent Van Gogh

Nature, Go, Need

Myself, Say, Other

I paint from the top down. From the sky, then the mountains, then the hills, then the houses, then the cattle, and then the people. Grandma Moses

Mountains, Sky, Top

Camera lies all the time. It's all it does is lie, because when you choose this moment instead of this moment, when you... the moment you've made a choice, you're lying about something larger. 'Lying' is an ugly word. I don't mean lying. But any artist picks and chooses what they want to paint or write about or say. Photographers are the same. Richard Avedon

Artist, Larger, About

What I wanted to do was to paint sunlight on the side of a house. Edward Hopper

Art, Sunlight, Side

There is nothing more difficult for a truly creative painter than to paint a rose, because before he can do so he has first to forget all the roses that were ever painted. Henri Matisse

More, Before, Painted
