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, Photography

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

Tree, Blue, Yellow, Color, Pink, Think

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

Drawing, Sketch, Tell, Stories, Just

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, Mountains, Walk, Climb, Why, Want

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

Music, Peace, Artist, Write, Poet, Must

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, Creativity, Child, Free, Play

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

Happy, Yourself, Mind, Expectations, You

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. But putting it all on one person doesn't paint the entire picture. Emily V. Gordon

Good, Blame, Picture, Cheating, Place

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

Singing has always seemed to me the most perfect means of expression. It is so spontaneous. And after singing, I think the violin. Since I cannot sing, I paint. Georgia O'Keeffe

Me, Singing, Think, Perfect, Expression

As long as you're true to you, you believe it and you make others believe it, then what you're doing is just art. If you give everybody a blank canvas and some paint, not everybody's picture is going to be exactly the same, but it's still art. I just do what I do. Jake Owen

Art, Picture, Believe, Doing, Long, You

I paint my own reality. The only thing I know is that I paint because I need to, and I paint whatever passes through my head without any other consideration. Frida Kahlo

Reality, Know, My Own, Need, Head, Own

I have never had a studio, and I do not understand shutting oneself up in a room. To draw, yes; to paint, no. Claude Monet

Understand, Never, Yes, Up, Room, Studio

The irony is that the more we fight age, the more it shows. Paint on a 50-year-old face brings to mind a Gilbert and Sullivan comic figure. Smooth the cheeks, and suddenly the ear lobes and hands look out of place. Do we run around in October, painting the gold leaves green? Karen DeCrow

Age, Mind, Green, Painting, Hands, Gold

At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea. Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Words, Literature, Pictures, Way, Order

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, Limits, Performance, Process

I've heard 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' read, and I tell you Mrs. Stowe's pen hasn't begun to paint what slavery is as I have seen it at the far South. I've seen de real thing, and I don't want to see it on no stage or in no theater. Harriet Tubman

Slavery, Pen, You, Uncle, Want, See

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

Colors, People, Color, Look, Down, Teach

Are we to paint what's on the face, what's inside the face, or what's behind it? Pablo Picasso

Face, Inside, Behind

I know now that most people are so closely concerned with themselves that they are not aware of their own individuality, I can see myself, and it has helped me to say what I want to say in paint. Georgia O'Keeffe

Myself, People, Me, Know, Want, Say
